  Datamost was a software design company based in Chatsworth, California that operated in the early 1980s, producing games and other software mainly for the Apple II, Commodore 64 and Atari platforms, with some for the IBM PC. Panasonic hired the company to port software for their domestic National brand game computer — the JR-200 platform.  Datamost also published educational and reference materials related to computers and computer programming. The company was infamous for having sex workers as booth babes with the lecherous Captain Sticky at the 1983 CES show. The company's HR manager was arrested on a pandering charge soon after. The 'Game Glut' of 1984 caused the poorly managed firm to go under.  ==Software== .]] .]] .]] Datamost's software projects included: * County Fair by Dan Illowsky (1981) * Thief by Bob Flanagan (1981) - ripped off Atari's Gotcha! * Money Munchers by Bob Bishop (1982) * Aztec by Paul Stephenson (1982) * Guardian by Bob Flanagan (1982) * Space Strike by Michael Abrash (1982) * Tharolian Tunnels by Rod Nelsen (1982) * The Bilestoad by Marc Goodman (1982) * The Missing Ring by Terry Romine (1982) * Snack Attack by Dan Illowsky (1982) * Spectre by Bob Flanagan and Scott Miller (1982) * Swashbuckler by Paul Stephenson (1982) * Tubeway by David Van Brink (1982) * WizPlus (1982) * Ardy The Aardvark by Chris Oberth (1983) * Argos by Ron Lowrance (1983) * Cavern Creatures by Paul Lowrance (1983) * Cohen's Towers by Frank Cohen and  (1983) - a Crazy Climber clone * Conquering Worlds by Walter Hochbrueckner (1983) * Captain Sticky and The Cosmic Tunnels by Tim Ferris (1983) * Monster Smash by Dave Eisler and Mark Riley (1983) * Mating Zone by Tom Luhrs (1983) * Neon by Ray Gari (1983) * Night Raiders by Peter Filiberti (1983) * Pandora's Box by Bob Flanagan (1983) * Round About (1983) * Space Ark by Bob Flanagan (1983) * Space Cadette by Dan Illowsky (1983) * Super Bunny by Vic Leone and Bill Russell (1983) * Ankh by David Van Brink (1984) * Cribbage II by Art Carpet * Earthly Delights by Roger Webster and Daniel Leviton (1984) * Mabel's Mansion by Kevin Bagley (1984) * Mr. Robot and His Robot Factory by Ron Rosen and Robert McNally (1984) * My Chess II by David Kittinger and Walter Hochbrueckner (1984) * Polar Pierre by Ron Rosen (1984)  ==Publications== Datamost's publications included: * How to Program the Apple II Using 6502 Assembly Language (1981) * How to Write an Apple Program (1982) by Ed Faulk * P-Source (Inside Apple Pascal) (1982) by Randall Hyde * The Elementary Apple (1983) by William B.
