Mirrorsoft
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mirrorsoft was a game software publisher in the United Kingdom, owned by Mirror Group Newspapers. It started off with educational software and then moved 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, whose rights were acquired in a series of complicated licensing issues (see Tetris for details).
Many games were not released under the name Mirrorsoft, but under publishing labels like Image Works.
Mirrorsoft was bought by Acclaim in 1992 [1].
