History

Virgin Games was the primary software label of the Virgin empire. The label was best known in its early years for its Now Games compilations, the Dan Dare trilogy of games, and the first licensed FA Cup football game. Among its more unusual titles were games based on Viz and Monty Python as well as pair of games based around Richard Branson's boat and balloon-based Atlantic adventures.
