Zigurat was a Spanish
software house for 8-bit
home computers very popular in the eighties during the
Golden Era of Spanish Software. Its origin is in the company Made in
Spain, founded in 1983, which would know massive success in Spain with ''Fred'', commercialized in the United Kingdom as ''Roland on the Ropes'' (only the
Amstrad CPC version). When the programmers and owners of Made in Spain could not go on alone on the task of distribution, they decided to create in 1986 another company, Zigurat, which would be entirely dedicated to distribution, and would distribute all the titles by Made in Spain, which became an internal producer seal under Zigurat. They would also distribute games by independent programmers or companies and would allow Made in Spain to concretate solely on programming. Later on, Made in Spain would completely merge into Zigurat, creating a single producer and distributor company. When the 8-bit market disappeared, the company turned to develop games for
arcade machines.
