Oxford Digital Enterprises Ltd.

Oxford Digital Enterprises Ltd., also known as ODE, was a software development studio founded in 1983 by David Pringle when he met Gareth Blower while working at Mainframe Computers. Their first program was called Macbeth and was based on the play by William Shakespeare. Their first popular game was Titanic: The Recovery Mission, released in April 1986 by Electric Dreams Software and they also made Trivial Pursuit for Domark in the same year. In 1993, Oxford Digital was acquired by Empire Interactive Europe Ltd. and became Empire Oxford, an in-house Empire studio. The new team included all ODE employees.
