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.

Trivia

Between 1991 and 1993 the company scored an unbroken (other than the Battle Isle data disks and '93 version) run of 5 Amiga Format Gold awards, for games rated at least 90% by the magazine - the total includes their marketing involvement with Yo! Joe! and their Play Byte arcade label's Apidya.
