Ultrasoft was a computer game developer and computer game publisher located in Bratislava, Slovakia. The company specialised in the development and publishing of games for the ZX Spectrum home computer. With over 40 titles to its credit, Ultrasoft was the biggest game software publisher in Czechoslovakia and, arguably, one of the biggest European producers of computer games during the 1990s. The most successful titles included the platform game Towdie and puzzle games Atomix and Hexagonia – Atomix 2.
