Mirrorsoft

Mirrorsoft was a computer game software publisher in the United Kingdom, owned by Mirror Group Newspapers. It was founded as a publisher of educational software before moving into games. One offshoot of its printing roots was Fleet Street Publisher on several platforms. A PC version was developed by Rowan Software but was scrapped before release.

Mirrorsoft's most famous - and infamous - product was Tetris, the rights to which were acquired in a series of complicated licensing issues (see the article for details).

Many games were not released under the name "Mirrorsoft", but under publishing labels like Image Works.

Mirrorsoft was bought by Acclaim in 1992.^[1]
