Boffin is a platform game published in 1985 by Addictive Games for the Acorn Electron and BBC Micro. It was written by 17-year-old Paul Julian O'Malley, who at the time was a resident of Romsey, Hampshire, UK. Initially released for the BBC Micro in 1984, it was subsequently re-released in 1985 with one side of the tape now featuring its sequel Boffin 2, which ran on both the BBC Micro and the Electron.
