Opera Soft S.A. was founded in Madrid in 1986, quickly becoming one of the most technically accomplished and prestigious corporations of the famous "Golden Age of Spanish Software". The studio was born with a clear multiplatform focus due to the extensive experience of its founders (all coming from Indescomp), who deeply understood the inner workings of microcomputers of that era.

In the late '80s, the home video game market was fragmented. Opera Soft stood out by never neglecting any mainstream system. Their developments for Z80 architectures dominated European screens: the Amstrad CPC versions were renowned for their colorful palettes (making extensive use of graphic Mode 0); on the ZX Spectrum, they achieved flawless scrolling performance while minimizing attribute clash; and for the **MSX** standard, they perfectly utilized the video chips on both first-generation models and optimized custom conversions.

Even the Commodore 64—a system usually bypassed by other Spanish studios due to its programming complexity and lower local market share—received meticulously crafted versions of their key titles. With the arrival of advanced 16-bit systems, Opera Soft made a tremendous qualitative leap. They programmed native titles and spectacular conversions for **PC MS-DOS** compatibles (taking advantage of CGA, EGA, and VGA graphics cards of the time), as well as for the powerful multimedia architectures of the **Atari ST** and **Commodore Amiga**.

This supreme technical capability allowed them not only to conquer mainstream entertainment circuits but also to enter more rigid, corporate market niches. A clear example of this was the Amstrad PCW ecosystem. Despite it being a strictly business-oriented system designed for office paperwork and word processing, Opera Soft adapted official compilation packs and sports simulators to its monochrome screens under the CP/M operating system, proving absolute flexibility in software development.
