Grange Hill is a 1987 video game from Bug-Byte for the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum,[2] and Amstrad CPC.[3] It is based on Grange Hill, a popular children's television show. The music was done by David Whittaker,[1] but did not include the TV show's theme tune.
The Commodore 64 version was coded by Michael Delves
