Freddy Bailey was chairman of the Game World Group in Nottingham. He was originaly a distributor for Video Games GMBH in Lich Germany. In 1979, he received an order for 1,000 upright Space Attack, because of the boom, Video Games GMBH could not fulfil the order from the German factory, so the directors of Video Games GMBH and itself funded a new company called Video Games (UK) Ltd, after a short while he purchased all ot the shares from the German partners and changed the name to Game World, Ltd.
