Durell was founded in 1983 by Robert White.
Toward the end of 1987 Durell Software sold the rights to publish most of their existing games to Elite Systems and changed focus to developing financial services software solutions for the IFA, insurance and mortgage broking industries. Currently over 1,000 advisers and brokers use Durell's software.

Death Pit - This game was advertised quite extensively in 1985 by Durell and was completed but not considered good enough for release. An article in issue 25 of Crash remarked: "although halfway through the project there was a moment when it looked like the game might make a commercial release, it didn't come up to scratch". Clive Townsend, however, did use some of the routines from this game in the programming of Saboteur. The available development version was recovered in 2007.
