"The Adventure Workshop was set up in 1992 to provide a service to adventure authors who wished to have their games converted to other computer platforms, mainly converting games from the Spectrum 8 bit to the Amstrad CPC 8 bit computers. It started out as a hobby but rapidly grew into being the biggest Amstrad Adventure Software House in the UK. In January 1993 we decided to branch out into the PC market by converting some of the best 8 bit Adventures." [From The Darkest Road PC Shareware release]

The Adventure Workshop also republished games that had previously been available through The Guild and Compass Software. According to an article in The Adventure & Strategy Club, in late 1994 The Adventure Workshop's catalogue of games included over 120 Amstrad titles, 90 ZX Spectrum adventures and 13 Commodore 64 games.

(Note: Some of Philip Reynold's earlier ports to Amstrad CP/M were presented as being by "The Adventure Workshop" even though The Guild was the original publisher of the conversions.)
