I got an e-mail from the man who used to write the Hac-man column in 'The 
Micro User' (If you are reading this, I have forgotten your name! Sorry!) 
and I asked him that very same question. Apparently they are still 
working for Audiogenic, who are still a going concern, although I don't 
know what they are working on. I haven't seen their names in any games 
I've played.

They did write the Atari ST and Amiga versions of Exile, which were both
pretty good. (I've not found either on the web, though.) If you've got a
choice go for the Amiga version, as the sound is much better (the monkeys
say 'Ni!' in a cute way, even when you blast them with the flamethrower
:-), and it's full-screen (the ST version had borders). It also doesnt'
suffer from the stupid ST/PC keyboard clashes either. (Just another way 
the Beeb beats modern computers :-)
