Micro Power Ltd was a British company that released both hardware and software for 8-bit computers in the 1980s.

Their earlier titles were clones of popular arcade games. Later releases such as Castle Quest and Doctor Who and the Mines of Terror were more ambitious and costly to develop. These contributed to the company's financial problems which resulted in the business closing in 1987.

It is known for Miner 2049er, Spy Hunter
