Eurocom Entertainment Software at a Glance

If you are browsing PlayPile to understand the history of Eurocom Entertainment Software, you will find a British developer founded in 1988 that has released 37 games between 1993 and 2017. The company started by making titles for the Nintendo Entertainment System before expanding to nearly every major console and handheld system available during their career. Their work spans multiple decades, with 11 games in the 1990s, a peak of 19 titles in the 2000s, and only six releases in the 2010s before they became inactive in 2017. Eurocom built a reputation on arcade to console ports and licensed properties rather than original concepts. The data shows their output is heavily focused on Adventure games with 15 titles, followed by Platform games at 13 entries and Shooters at nine. They developed for PC the most with 15 games, but they also worked extensively on PlayStation systems, covering PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and the original PlayStation. Their portfolio includes well-known franchises like GoldenEye 007, Disney properties such as Ice Age and The Jungle Book, and licensed films like Rio and G-Force. Quality varies across their 29 rated titles. The average IGDB rating sits at 66.3 out of 100, which reflects a mix of outcomes. They have produced three great games scoring above 80, including G-Force in 2009 with an 89.6 score and GoldenEye 007 (2010) at 82.1. Several other titles like Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and 40 Winks also received strong marks. However, there are 17 good games in the 60-79 range and nine mixed reviews between 40 and 59. There are no poor-rated titles below 40, but the recent history shows a dip in performance. Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy from November 2017 scored only 53, and 007 Legends released in 2012 received a 49.9 score. While the studio employed about 200 people at their Derby location, their output slowed significantly after the mid-2000s. Their later releases like Disney Universe and Rio averaged around 63 points, showing inconsistent results compared to their earlier high-rated work. They did create a few original properties such as Magician, Machine Hunter, and Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, but these did not consistently match the quality of their licensed hits or ports.
