Level 9 was a computer game company that released mainly text adventure games throughout the 80s for, at first, 8-bit computers, and later 16-bit computers aswell.
Peter McBride wrote novellas for Level 9's Rainbird releases - Jewels of Darkness (a trilogy compilation), Silicon Dreams (another trilogy) and Knight Orc (a 3-part game), a novella for their Mandarin trilogy 'Time & Magik' and Gnettlefield Journals for their other Mandarin releases, Gnome Ranger (3 parts), Ingrid's Back (3 parts), and Gnome Free (unreleased).
Peter also wrote game text for Gnome Ranger.
