In reality '''Melbourne House''' was a two prong operation - the European publisher and the Australian based developer ('''Beam Software''') who were the brains behind the operation, publishing games within Europe on the Melbourne House label and using it as a conduit for the development of European software, which was realsed by Beam, down under.

The brand made a slight comeback at the tail end of 1988 and into the following year before the parent company, by that point [[Virgin|Virgin Mastertronic]] retired the name permanently.
