Hewson Consultants were one of the smaller software companies which produced video games for home computers in the mid-1980s. They had a reputation for high-quality games, and are ranked seventh out of 109 companies reviewed by Your Sinclair with an average rating of 84%. Fourteen of their games were awarded "Megagame" by Your Sinclair, and Paradroid is considered one of the best games ever released for the Commodore 64.
Hewson was founded by Andrew Hewson in the early 1980s. He became interested in computers while working at the British Museum when their first machine arrived. After learning to program, Andrew wrote the programming guide book Hints and Tips for the ZX80. - 1983
