Established in 1988 as a premier label of Mirrorsoft, the publisher aimed to capture the rapidly expanding 16-bit home computer market, specifically targeting the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST, alongside 8-bit systems. The label secured high-profile intellectual properties to drive its commercial strategy. Through licensing agreements with Konami and MCA Universal, the company adapted major Hollywood properties into interactive entertainment.

The publisher's output was heavily defined by these pop-culture adaptations. For the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, they handled the European distribution of the 1989 NES port to home computers, translating the side-scrolling action for European audiences. This was followed by Back to the Future Part II and Back to the Future Part III, which translated the cinematic time-travel narratives into multi-genre gameplay segments, including hoverboard chases and train sequences. Alongside these licensed hits, the label fostered original development, releasing the puzzle game Bombuzal, the action-heavy Foxx Fights Back, the futuristic sports title Speedball, the shooter Xenon 2: Megablast, and the 3D vector-graphics title Interphase. The parent company's collapse in the early 1990s led to the dissolution of the label, marking the end of its brief but influential run in the European microcomputer era.
