A walk round what used to be OCEAN SOFTWARE, 6 Central Street, Manchester

Ocean Software rented the basement and the 2nd floor at The Friends’ Meeting House back in the 1980s. It’s where many of their most popular titles were written, including versions of Chase HQ, Robocop, Wizball, Renegade, Head Over Heels, Hypersports & Daley Thompson’s Decathlon. On 16 March 2023 we were kindly granted access to the building to see what it looks like now. Many thanks to Sarah Donaldson at the Friends’ Meeting House for granting us access and for taking the time to show us around. It was very much appreciated.
