Mirrorsoft

Mirrorsoft at a Glance

Mirrorsoft was a United Kingdom publisher founded in 1982 that operated from 1983 until 2019. The company released or developed a total of 28 games on PlayPile, with the vast majority of those releases coming during the 1980s when they put out 24 titles. Their activity dropped significantly in the following decades, releasing only three games in the 1990s and just one game in the 2010s. This company was founded by Jim Mackonochie and Robert Maxwell before being bought by Acclaim Entertainment in 1992 and renamed Arena Entertainment. Their catalog shows a heavy focus on early home computers, with 17 games for the ZX Spectrum and 13 titles for the Commodore C64, C128, or MAX systems. They also published 11 Amstrad CPC games, 8 for the Amiga, and 8 for the Atari ST or STE. Their genre output was varied, with Adventure being their top category at 10 titles, followed by Simulator with 7 games. They also worked on Platformers, Shooters, Arcade games, Puzzles, Strategy titles, Point-and-click adventures, Tactical games, and Fighting games. The available quality data for Mirrorsoft is quite limited because only one game has received an IGDB rating in their history. That single title, Dynamite Dan from 1985, holds a score of 70 out of 100. This places it in the good range since there are no great rated titles over 80 or any poor rated titles below 40. The average rating across their single rated title is 70. Recent releases include The Final Battle from September 2019, while other known titles from the end of their run as Mirrorsoft include Blade Warrior, Flight of the Intruder, Theme Park Mystery, and Conflict: Europe.
