Digital Image Design at a Glance

Digital Image Design started in 1989 in a small house in Runcorn, England. Martin Kenwright and Phillip Allsopp founded the studio from a bedroom to create games when 3D technology was rare. Their output was heavily concentrated in the 1990s with nine titles released during that decade. They released one game in the 1980s and another in the 2020s, bringing their total count on PlayPile to 12 games as a developer and one as a publisher. The company has remained active from its founding through 2026, with recent releases like F-22: Air Dominance Fighter scheduled for February 2026. The studio focused heavily on the simulator genre, which accounts for nine of their twelve titles. They also produced three shooters, three racing games, and three strategy games. Other genres in their catalog include one real-time strategy title, one platformer, and one fighting game. Their work appeared across many platforms, with seven games built for PC running Microsoft Windows. Five titles ran on DOS, four on the Amiga, three on the Atari ST or STE, and single releases existed for the Atari Lynx and PC-9800 Series. Quality assessments for Digital Image Design are generally positive based on the three rated titles available in the database. The average rating stands at 76.7 out of 100. Their highest-rated game is EF2000 v2.0 from 1997, which holds an 83 score. F29 Retaliator from 1989 received a 74.2, and Wargasm from 1998 sits at 73. The breakdown shows one great title, two good titles, and no mixed or poor ratings in the sample data. While their output slowed significantly after the 1990s with only one release in the 2020s so far, they maintained a consistent focus on flight simulation and military combat themes throughout their history.
