Rowan Software
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rowan Software was a British software company focussed on the development of computer games. The company was founded by Rod Hyde in 1987 and based in Runcorn, Cheshire. Rowan was best known as a publisher of flight simulators for the PC.
The company was involved with a number of publishers including Mirrorsoft, Mindscape, Spectrum Holobyte, Virgin, and Empire Interactive. Rowan's involvement with Mirrorsoft included development of the strategy/role-playing title Duster which collapsed when Mirrorsoft was declared bankrupt.
In the early 1990's Martin Kenwright left with several members of Rowan's staff to form Digital Image Design.
Rowan was acquired by Empire Interactive in December 2002.
