Thor Computer Software Ltd. (1984-1986)> Odin Computer Graphics (1986>)
Thor Computer Software began life as simply 'Thor', a company focused on releasing games made by outside contractors. When the direction turned to develop their own games in-house, label Odin Computer Graphics (O.G.C) was formed. When the first O.C.G games were a success, Thor was brought back as Thor Computer Software as a sister company to O.C.G with the purpose of publishing budget games.
Also Known As
Thor (from Jan, 1984 to Dec, 1984) -- Original name for Thor Computer Software
In 1987, Odin finally closed their doors, mainly due to an inability to expand the size of their teams while maintaining the quality that had put the company on the map in the first place. Although they delivered more than all the necessary titles to fulfill their contract, Telecomsoft deemed several of them to be not worthy of release. By this time many of Odin's core programmers and artists had already jumped ship. Several ex-Odin staff initially joined Denton Designs, another Liverpool-based games developer, before going their separate ways.
In 2005, Paul McKenna reformed Odin Computer Graphics Ltd, to develop and produce new titles and convert Nodes of Yesod, Arc of Yesod, Heartland and Robin of the Wood on the Mobile Phone formats.
In 2010, Odin Computer Graphics, Ltd., in conjunction with Uztek Games, Inc., released Nodes Of Yesod for the iPhone. A web browser version built with Adobe Flash was also released in the same year.
