Entrex Software Inc. - In the Days of Knights & Kings ©1989

(my archive on Google Drive)

All of my analysis brings me to the conclusion that this software company (if it is a software company) had NOTHING to do with the Entrex 480 systems that this website is about.  Perhaps by 1989, the trademark on the original Entrex name had expired, and this small software development company took it over, and repackaged some existing games by Softech Microsystems and maybe added some of their own features?

Perhaps enthusiasts in the DOS game genre can speak to this...

There's a LOT of other copyright holders in these files.  For example:
