Blue Byte Studio GmbH
Overview
Founded in 1988 by a group of German programmers and designers, Blue Byte scored their first big hit with the
Pro Tennis Tour / Great Courts games, before moving towards the
Battle Isle and
The Settlers strategy games for which they were most famed. Their original focus was the Amiga until 1994, when they switched their focus towards the PC. Their fortunes wavered in the late 1990s, and they were absorbed by
Ubi Soft in 2001.

Yo! Joe! and their Play Byte arcade label's
