Background and release
Ultimate Play the Game was founded by brothers
Tim and Chris Stamper, along with Tim's wife, Carol, from their headquarters in Ashby-de-la-Zouch in 1982. They began producing video games for the ZX Spectrum throughout the early 1980s.[6] The company were known for their reluctance to reveal details about their operations and then-upcoming projects. Little was known about their development process except that they used to work in "separate teams": one team would work on development whilst the other would concentrate on other aspects such as sound or graphics.[6] This company later evolved into Rare,[7] the developer of Cobra Triangle.[2]
Mark Betteridge and Tim and Chris Stamper designed the game and David Wise wrote its soundtrack.[3] Nintendo released Cobra Triangle in July 1989.[2] It was later included in the August 2015 Xbox One compilation of 30 Rare titles, Rare Replay.[8]
