Software Studios were Activision UK's in-house development/support team. They were established in the old Electric Dreams (Activision) offices in Southampton, UK in the 1980s and handled both technical and creative development for Activision and its affiliated labels. Although most of Activision's games were written by outside developers, the Software Studios offices was a homebase where the coders could go for back-up facilities and advice. Additionally, Software Studios developed games that weren't contracted to outside developers by Activision and provided product testing for all Activision's games.
