Adventure Soft is a UK-based video game developer which was established in the 1980s by Mike Woodroffe, then owner of Callisto Computers, one of the very early computer shops. Callisto Computers was, amongst other things, an importer and reseller of Adventure International games. It operates out of Sutton Coldfield^*. It is best known for the successful Simon the Sorcerer series of games.

Adventure Soft's beginnings

In the beginning Adventure Soft operated out of Birmingham converting the Adventure International games by Scott Adams to run on microcomputers found in the United Kingdom market which were not currently supported. Adventure Soft employed Brian Howarth whose Mysterious Adventure series was the British answer to Scott Adams games, and who used the same game system as Scott to perform the ports.
