Amsoft was a wholly owned subsidiary of Amstrad, PLC, founded in 1984 and re-integrated with its parent company in 1989.

Most prominently, Amsoft acted as the first-party game and business software publisher for Amstrad computers.

[1][2] Most of its software products were licensed from various third-party developers and published under the Amsoft label.

[3] This also provided a risk-free means for established software studios to try out their products in the emerging Amstrad CPC market.

By 1989, Amsoft was fully integrated with the main Amstrad corporation and ceased to exist as a separate entity.
