- Friendlyware was a set of 30 computer programs that were written in BASIC and bundled with certain IBM personal computers. The set included a collection of business, game, and personal analysis software. Friendlyware was published in 1983 by a company called Friendlysoft. Friendlyware was one of the first pieces of software to implement a boss key, a shortcut to obscure the nature of the software from superiors in the workplace. There were several releases of Friendlyware. The original copy, dubbed Friendlyware I, came on a 5.25" floppy disk with a green label. It had one arcade game (Brick Out) and other family software, including strategy games like Reversi. The Friendlyware PC Introductory Set was among the first games available for the PC. It was a best seller for three months with little competition. The Friendlyware Arcade pack came on a floppy disk with a red label and contained eight additional arcade-style games that are a reminiscent of the early 1980s. The BusinessWare release came with a blue label and contained simple business software. Over 29,000 copies of the original FriendlyWare were eventually sold. (en)
