Ultrasoft


Ultrasoft was a computer game developer and computer game publisher located in Bratislava, Slovakia. The company specialised in the development and publishing of games for the ZX Spectrum home computer. With over 40 titles to its credit, Ultrasoft was the biggest game software publisher in Czechoslovakia and, arguably, one of the biggest European producers of computer games during the 1990s. The most successful titles included the platform game Towdie and puzzle games Atomix and Hexagonia – Atomix 2. Apart from computer games, the company also published a dozen or so non-game titles, mostly for learning foreign languages, as well as text, image, sound and music editors.
Ultrasoft also acted as an exclusive distributor within the territory of Czechoslovakia for Domark and Ocean Software game software houses based in England.
The company was founded by Louis Wittek in 1989, and dissolved in 1998.
