abstract
  • Codemasters is a British game developer and publisher founded in 1986. The company has developed for most mainstream game consoles and home computers since its foundation, from the ZX Spectrum onwards. Codemasters is also notable for having produced a number of unlicensed NES games in the early 1990s, several of which would later be officially ported to Sega systems, as well as the Game Genie series of cheat cartridges (which were unlicensed on Nintendo systems but licensed for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis). Their games were released in the US by Camerica, in Europe by Codemasters themselves, and in 60-pin format in various regions by BIC/Realtec, who also produced a 60-pin version of the NES Game Genie.

  • Founded in 1986 by Richard and David Darling (who worked previously for Mastertronic), Codemasters established themselves in the growing ZX Spectrum market, mostly with action games that required the player to solve simple puzzles by combining different objects, such as the Dizzy series. While rooted in the ZX Spectrum, Codemasters did not write exclusively for this computer - they also released software (including the Dizzy series) for the Commodore 64, Commodore 16, BBC Micro, Acorn Electron, Amstrad CPC, Atari 8-bit, Commodore Amiga and Atari ST. They were famous for releasing a long series of "Simulator" games, mostly sports simulations (such as Pro Boxing Simulator). This led to the parody "Advanced Lawnmower Simulator" being developed, praised to the skies and then published by Your Sinclair magazine as an April Fool's Day stunt.[citation needed] Codemasters were one of a number of software houses in the 1980s that only released low retail price titles. However, in 1992 they began to cut down on the budget releases in favour of full-price titles.[citation needed] As the 8-bit computer market diminished, Codemasters turned to developing for the 8-bit and 16-bit console markets, as well as moving away from their budget title legacy to more full-price games on the 16-bit computers — 1993 saw the last title in the budget Dizzy series, Crystal Kingdom Dizzy, although they released a full-price Dizzy game, Fantastic Dizzy later. They had major success with the Micro Machinesseries and Pete Sampras Tennis on the Sega Mega Drive. Both franchises featured the J-Cart, allowing two extra controllers to be attached to the game cart without requiring Electronic Arts' 4 way play orSEGA's four player adaptor.

The CEO is Rod Cousens, formerly of Acclaim Entertainment and in 2005, Codemasters was named as the top independent games developer by "Develop magazine", an international monthly journal for video game developers. Founded in 1985 by Richard and David Darling (who worked previously for Mastertronic), Codemasters quickly established themselves in the growing ZX Spectrum market, mostly with action games that required the player to solve simple puzzles by combining different objects. One of the best examples of these games are the Dizzy series. While Codemasters found their roots in the ZX Spectrum, they did not exclusively write for this one computer - they also released software (including the Dizzy series) for the Enterprise 128, Vic 20, Commodore 64, Commodore 16, BBC Micro, Acorn Electron, Amstrad CPC, Atari 8-bit, Commodore Amiga and Atari ST.
