History

The company was based out of Little Rock, Arkansas and had profound success with a few of their early titles. Ozark Softscape had a publishing deal with Electronic Arts for several of its groundbreaking games.

Titles

  • M.U.L.E. (1983)
  • The Seven Cities of Gold (1984)
  • Heart of Africa (1985)
  • Robot Rascals (1986)
  • Modem Wars (1988)

    • In the early 1990s, Ozark Softscape left their partnership with Electronic Arts over a dispute to port some games to cartridge format for the Nintendo Entertainment System. They began a partnership with MicroProse to produce two more influential titles:

  • Command HQ (1990)
  • Global Conquest (1992)

    • A dispute occurred over creating a follow-up to M.U.L.E. with Sega in 1993, and the company dissolved. The employees of Ozark Softscape moved to different areas of the software industry.
