Founded in October 1988, Eurocom established itself by developing games for platforms like the NES, Sega Genesis, and SNES, including titles like Magician and Lethal Weapon. Over its 24-year history, the studio became highly regarded for its work on licensed franchises, particularly the James Bond series. The company officially closed its doors in December 2012.
Based in Derby, England, the developer initially focused on porting existing arcade and computer games to home consoles. An early success in this area was the console adaptation of
Sensible Soccer: European Champions in 1993. As hardware transitioned to three dimensions, the studio expanded its capabilities to handle original 3D game design and multi-platform releases.
During the fifth and sixth console generations, the company secured high-profile contracts with major publishers like Sony Computer Entertainment, resulting in the party game
Crash Bash for the PlayStation. They also created original intellectual properties, such as the action-adventure title
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy.
In its later years, the developer specialized in motion-controlled experiences and modern remakes, producing
Dead Space: Extraction for the Wii alongside various family-friendly titles based on animated feature films. The studio's final years saw a shift toward mobile and digital distribution platforms before declining demand for console tie-ins led to a restructuring and the eventual cessation of all operations.
