| Information | ||
The company was founded in 1980 by Geoff Young under the name "Geoff's Records", changing its name to Prism Leisure Corporation a little later. In the 1980s it sold games and computer game collections for the C64 as well as other home computers. It was also a distributor of various media such as records, music cassettes and CDs and DVD videos, as well as media players and toys.
In 1987, Prism Leisure became a computer game publisher by buying out games companies such as Endurance Games (which was the rights holder of International Karate) and Addictive Games (which was the developer of Football Manager). The acquired games companies were continued as independent software labels under Endurance Games and Addictive, and the low-budget label Golden Classics was introduced. Paxman Promotions Ltd. was subsequently also incorporated, which temporarily served as a distribution label for low budget titles and computer game collections. Other low-cost brands included 16 Bit Pocket Power Collection and PC Hits, although no C64 games were released under them.
The group filed for bankruptcy In 2007.
