It developed over 200 titles, including many under license from companies such as THQ, Disney Interactive and BBC Multimedia.[1] In later years, it struggled with the move to the seventh generation of video game consoles, and so pivoted to developing USB development boards and displays for industrial purposes.[2]
On 5 August 2021, the company closed its doors after 34 years, with lead developer Donald Campbell still at the helm.[3]
