Abacus is a publisher of quality software and computer books. We've been developing and publishing software for the home consumer since 1978 making us one of the pioneers in the personal computer industry.

We're also one of the leading developers of train simulation add-ons including Casino Express, LTV Trainset, Scenic Railway and Train Sim Modeler - all for Microsoft Train Simulator.

In the gaming arena we have two popular titles: Face Factory and Career Creator both add-on for "The Sims" from Electronic Arts/Maxis.

We also publish computer books, concentrating on productivity titles. In the late-1980's, Abacus pioneered book/disk publishing by bundling the highly regarded book PC Intern with a ready-to-use diskette. Abacus was one of the first publishers to move to book/CD-ROM publishing. Among the best selling books are Easy Digitial Photography, PaintShop Pro Power Solutions and Building Your Own PC.
