available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Odyssey Software
was a computer game developer founded in 1987 in Eastham, Massachusetts
by Art V. Cestaro III. The company produced games for the Amiga and the
Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Odyssey's earliest titles were
expanded works based on arcade games popular at that time. Byteman was
based on Pac Man, Jailbreak was based on Arkanoid, Deathbots was based
on Berzerk, and Space War was based on Asteroids. After its early
attempts at working as an independent game developer Odyssey began
taking contracts from other established companies. In 1990, Moon Ranger,
was produced under contract with Color Dreams for the NES. Odyssey
established a relationship with American Video Entertainment, who
contracted Deathbots for the NES. After Deathbots, Odyssey went on to
produce Solitaire and Blackjack, which American Video Entertainment
subsequently published. Three other Nintendo titles (Backgammon, Cue
Stick, and Poker) were in production but American Video Entertainment
went out of business before any of these titles could be published. |
