US Gold

U.S. Gold was a British computer and video game publisher and developer, founded in Birmingham in 1984 by Geoff Brown as the publishing division of Centresoft, a computer game distribution company he founded in 1983. The company's primary purpose was to publish popular American Atari and Commodore 64 games in the UK and Europe and also convert them to other popular 8-bit home computer formats in the European market, such as the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC. Popular licences included Strider, World Cup Carnival and Olympics.

In the 1990s, US Gold joined forces with UK software distributor CentreSoft to form the CentreGold Plc Group, with the development studios comprising of the internally formed Silicon Dreams and acquired Core Design. The group was acquired by Eidos Interactive in April 1996, with Eidos maintaining Core Design as a developer but discontinuing the US Gold brand. The last retail game to bear the U.S. Gold logo was Olympic Games: Atlanta 1996, released in June 1996 for the Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn, PC and 3DO.
