Overview edit · view history

Images Software Ltd. was a game development studio established circa 1988 by Karl Jeffrey. It is known for classic titles as Back to the Future Part II, Bubsy II, and The Hunt for Red October, as well as ports of many games.

The studio initially developed for Activision, with ports of Wonder Boy in Monster Land for instance, but later they also worked for Ocean and US Gold (e.g. porting G-Loc Air Battle). Initially focusing on Amiga, Atari ST and ZX Spectrum, Images later moved on to the Game Boy, NES and SNES. The company has close ties to The Climax Group, also founded by Karl Jeffery, and may be linked to Images' desire to publish its own games.

After 1994 no new products appeared, and most likely the company was continued as The Climax Group.
