Sony Imagesoft Inc. was an American video game publisher that operated from 1988 to 1995 and was located in California. It was established and incorporated in December 1988 in Los Angeles, California, as a subsidiary of the Japan-based CBS/Sony Group (CSG) and initially named CSG Imagesoft Inc. Their focus at the beginning was on marketing games exclusively for Nintendo consoles, and the company's initial of slate was derived from Japanese-originated titles, mostly titles from Epic/Sony Records. Its involvement in producing most video game adaptions of various movies at the time led to the company's poor reputation. According to then Sony Imagesoft President Kelly Flock, he noted the involvement of nongaming executives in the decision making process. The company started and incorporated on December 15, 1988 in Los Angeles, California, as CSG Imagesoft Inc. as a unit of CBS/Sony Group to market games exclusively for Nintendo consoles. The company's trademark was first registered on October 17, 1989. The first release was Super Dodge Ball in summer 1989. UK-developed games such as Solstice and Dragon's Lair followed in 1990. Both were also published in Japan through Epic/Sony Records. Both titles were massive critical and commercial successes, with Solstice being the most expensive NES game in the Western market ever produced and became the company's first big break and major hit.
