Electric Dreams Software - Software Studios

Software Studios

The publisher's in-house video game developer was Software Studios, set up in April 1986 and run by John Dean and Dave Cummings. Software Studios also handled Activision's products marketed in countries outside the United States. The concept behind this team was to pool resources and ideas between all Electric Dream projects, but they were also directly responsible for two film tie-in licenses, Aliens: The Computer Game (1986) and Big Trouble in Little China.

Other software titles were chosen for release by Paul Cooper, also formerly of Quicksilva. The company's initial releases were Riddler's Den and I, Of the Mask.
