Electric Dreams Software was a video game publisher established in 1985 by ex-managing director of Quicksilva, Rod Cousens and ex Software Manager of Quicksilva, Paul Cooper. The company published video games for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC between 1985 and 1989, becoming one of... the top eight UK software houses of that decade. The publisher's in-house video game developer was Software Studios, set up in April 1986 and run by John Dean and Dave Cummings. Software Studios also handled Activision's products marketed in countries outside the United States. The concept behind this team was to pool resources and ideas between all Electric Dream projects, but they were also directly responsible for two film tie-in licenses, Aliens: The Computer Game and Big Trouble in Little China. Other software titles were chosen for release by Paul Cooper, also formerly of Quicksilva. The company's initial releases were Riddler's Den and I, Of the Mask. Electric Dreams Software's logo design is identical to the logo for Disney's Captain EO. In addition, the strategy game RMS Titanic was previewed by the gaming press in 1986, but was never published.
