Mastertronic Games Ltd.

Originally emerging in the UK budget market, Mastertronic began as a low‑cost software publisher in the 1980s and later appeared under several related corporate names and labels. The original Mastertronic Ltd. (founded in 1983) built a large catalogue of inexpensive 8‑bit releases and acquired Melbourne House for re‑release material. The name Mastertronic Games Ltd. appears in later UK industry records as a publishing label tied to the Mastertronic Group / Sold Out era; its use reflects successor/branding activity rather than a single continuous corporate identity. Key founders of the 1983 venture include Martin Alper, Frank Herman, Terry Medway and Alan Sharam. The game entries below, including versions and later rereleases grouped in this archive, span systems such as Windows, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, GameCube, PSP, Wii, Xbox One, and Nintendo DS.
