Nice find George and good read!
So neither of them coded our games, they were just middle men. 
Great to read they covered the C16/Plus4 side of things but for a company out to make a few bucks C16/Plus4 was a very strange choice to start with.
Those who lived in the UK all knew the game name Dirty Den was the nickname of a character from the BBC soap Eastenders, used hoping it was sell more copies... Maybe Dirty Den's loading screen is a clue to who coded it, One Man And His Droid uses a similar style just like Oblido does.
Not sure why or when but by the 1990's Probe were addressing them self as being based in Winchester, on my doorstep and I didn't realise for a long time.
and what a load of pony when the article was going on about OutRun on Atari ST lol, it's one of the most memorable games on both the Atari ST and Amiga for being utter crap!
