The roots of Bluemoon go back to the year 1986 when class-mates Jaan and Priit started programming for a small hardware company in Tallinn. The 8-bit computers it manufactured were based on Intel's 8080 processors. That was the platform our first action games were created for. In 1988 Jaan met Ahti, who already had an extensive programming background on Z80 based Yamaha MSX computers. The threesome got an idea to make an action game for IBM PC platform in 1989, which at the time already boasted "superb EGA graphics". The game was called Kosmonaut, and a hairy dude from Estonian State Television computer graphics division offered his help on the GFX side. That's how Kaspar joined the team. In 1990 Kosmonaut was published in Sweden by Scandinavian PC Systems and in 1992 a sequel to Kosmonaut came out; Skyroads. On 17th of June 1993 Bluemoon Software was registered as a privately held Estonian software company.
