==History== The company's early releases in 1984 (''Moon Alert, Hunchback, High Noon, Gilligan's Gold'', etc.) were developed in-house, but later in that year. Ocean Software acquired its former Liverpool rival, the defunct software developer Imagine, and focus shifted from development to publication of games. Also in 1984, Ocean struck a deal with Konami to publish their arcade games for home computers. *In 1985, Ocean Software managed to secure the first movie licences, such as ''Rambo'', ''Short Circuit'' and ''Cobra'', as well as the TV show ''Miami Vice''. *In 1986, a deal was signed with Taito for home versions of their arcade games such as ''Arkanoid'' and ''Renegade'' *In 1987, Ocean Software published original games again, after a marginal season filled with licences, resulting in ''Head over Heels'', ''Match Day II'' and ''Wizball'', which are considered to be classics by many old school gamers. *The last game released by Ocean was ''Mission: Impossible'' in 1998, for Nintendo 64. *Ocean acquired Digital Image Design in 1998. *Ocean was acquired by Infogrames in 1998 for Β£100,000,000 and renamed to ''Infogrames UK''.
