Firebird Software is more of a publishing label than a developer. Any games credited to a developer prolific enough to have its own page (e.g. Level 9) aren't listed on this one, or else it would be massive and mostly redundant.
Unknown lead platform:
Booty
Released for Commodore 64 & ZX spectrum in 1984
Ported to Amstrad CPC in 1984
Star Empire
First released for Commodore 64 in May 1986
Released for Amstrad CPC & ZX Spectrum in 19864
Black Lamp
Released for Amiga & Atari ST in July 1988
Ported to Commodore 64 & ZX Spectrum in 1988
Ported to Atari 8-bit in 1989
Weird Dreams
Weird Dreams
Released for PC c1988
Released for Amiga & Atari ST in 1989
Released for C64 c1989
Mobygames and Wikipedia do not agree on release order. Mobygames lists the PC version as coming out first in 1988, but Wikipedia says it came out in Fall 1989, and puts the Atari ST version first in April 1989.
Technically this one's Rainbird but I don't mind lumping it with its parent label.
