 The company Imagine Software, formed by former members of Bug-Byte, had become successful prior to 1982, and drew the attention of the BBC as part of a documentary series "Commercial Breaks" that had been examining successful businesses in new industries.During 1983 and 1984, Imagine had tried to expand its capabilities beyond game programming as well as push the idea of "megagames" that stretched a computer's hardware limits and would be sold at a higher cost, but these efforts backfired, costing Imagine staff and money.By the time the BBC began filming for this episode of "Commercial Breaks", Imagine was in a downward spiral, which was notoriously documented by the BBC.
