In the same year Ocean secured further rights by Taito and Data East. The only rescue in this year was an excellent realisation of Green Beret and the game Parallax by Sensible. Martin Galway had said at that time in an interview, that his music has lead to some additional game sales and that Ocean was grateful for this. These were mostly not well converted and therefore only received mediocre evaluations in the tests of the game magazines.Īfter a series of bad games, the year 1986 was a low point for Ocean. In 1985 Ocean secured the movie licenses for Miami Vice, The City Cobra, Knight Rider, Highlander, Rambo and V: The Series. Ocean reached a high degree of popularity also in the following years by realisations of famous movies and TV series. Hyper Sports, Ping Pong, Mikie, Green Beret, World Series Baseball, Yie Ar Kung Fu I and Yie Ar Kung Fu II were only a few of them. Ocean's idea was now to publish movie licenses and own developments under the label Ocean, while the label Imagine was used to release the Konami licensed games. In 1984 Ocean took over the competitor Imagine from Liverpool and bought the rights from Konami for their arcade games in the same year. One year later it was already renamed to Ocean Software Ltd. The company was founded by David Ward and Jon Woods at first as Spectrum Games in Manchester in 1982.
