SoftAid

SoftAid is a software compilation, released by Quicksilva in March 1985 to support the Famine Relief in Ethiopia. The software was released on cassette for the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 home computers.

An audio recording of the charity single, Do They Know It's Christmas? by Band Aid also featured on one side of the tape.

The tape was unusual in that it was released to help support a charity (possibly unique in computer gaming at the time). The cover featured artwork by British artist David Rowe,.

The tape sold in the United Kingdom for £4.99.
