FOUNTAIN PD SOFTWARE is based in Nottingham and is best known for the PFN generated free tape/diskzine Sinclair Classic and the scene's only all-girl demo programmers, The Knuckle Girls.

FPDS are dedicated to releasing original software exclusive to the ZX Spectrum 48/128/+3. Run by Dave Fountain and Amanda Cole, this is probably the only outfit run by vegetarian left-wing Millwall fans!

Issue 10 of the tapezine was the final edition, the writers deciding to join Subliminal Extacy after the fanzine became 'boring' to produce within the confines of its structure.
