Cope-Com was an Amiga software developer founded in 1987 by Martin Pedersen and Torben Larsen.
Martin Pedersen started out in 1985 with an Amstrad computer in which he did a conversion game title called The Vikings. At the same time Torben Larsen was doing the graphics for the same game on the Commodore 64 and that is how the two of them met. Feeling limited with the Amstrad and its technical abilities, Martin Pedersen decided to take a closer look at the new Amiga 1000 computer which was about to be released. They were impressed by the better resolution, colour palette and sound sampling of the Amiga.
Cope-Com published two games for the Amiga: Hybris (1989, Discovery Software) and Battle Squadron (1989, Electronic Zoo). Both were vertical-scrolling shoot 'em ups. Both titles were critical successes.[1][2]
On July 4th 2011, Cope-Com had converted their famed Amiga game called Battle Squadron to iOS devices titled Battle Squadron ONE and published the game through Apple App Store.
