Accolade

Established in 1984 in California USA, they were both a developer and distributor of some very good games, and their main focus was sports games. Here we get a taste of USA, with american football (4th & Inches), space travel (Apollo 18), Basketball (Fast Break), baseball (Hardball!), wild west (Law of the West) and driving (Test Drive). They also had some well received games like, The Train: Escape to Normandy and Psi-5 Trading Company. Most of their titles were popular in one way or another. Most of their titles were distributed by Electronic Arts in Europe (yellow bordered cover) although CRL did release some also.

Note that the list might not be complete with all the different covers, media types and countries. If you got information about other releases please email me. Especially if you got a good cover scan I am missing. If you got anything for trade that I miss (see checkmarks) please contact me for trade/sale.
