Coktel Vision was a French computer game developer that developed a lot of adventure and action games in their homeland in mid-80s (usually as publisher of its better-known subsidiary Tomahawk), none of which was sold outside Europe. Coktel also developed excellent but even lesser known educational games, most starring quirky alien Ali.
In 1992 it became a subsidiary of Sierra On-Line and sold Coktel Vision's games in the United States.
Following Sierra's buyout by Havas and disappointing sales of its last titles, Coktel Vision only developed educational games that are marketed mostly in Europe.
In 2005, Mindscape purchased Coktel Vision. In 2011 Coktel Vision was closed down, along with all of Mindscape's other gaming divisions, when Mindscape exited the game industry.
Coktel Vision (also known as Coktel or Coktel Studio) was a French video game publisher based in Paris. The company was founded in 1984 by Roland Oskian, a former executive of Matra Espace.[2] The company was acquired by American publisher Sierra On-Line on 4 May 1994.[2] On 21 February 1996, Sierra On-Line, including Coktel Vision, was acquired by CUC International and became part of CUC's new CUC Software (later renamed Vivendi Universal Games) branch.[3] Vivendi Universal Games proceeded to sell Coktel Vision to Mindscape on 21 October 2005, wherein eleven employees were absorbed into Mindscape.[4] The Coktel brand name however was retained by Mindscape many years afterwards.
