Mirrorsoft
Mirrorsoft was a computer game software publisher in the United Kingdom, owned by Mirror Group Newspapers. It was founded as a publisher of educational software before moving into games. One offshoot of its printing roots was Fleet Street Publisher on several platforms. A PC version was developed by Rowan Software but was scrapped before release.
Mirrorsoft's most famous - and infamous - product was Tetris, the rights to which were acquired in a series of complicated licensing issues (see the article for details).
The company was voted Best 16-bit Software House of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards.[1]
Many games were not released under the name "Mirrorsoft", but under publishing labels like Image Works.
Mirrorsoft was bought by Acclaim Entertainment in 1992.[2]
