(ACG), kterou založili v roce 1982 bratři Tim a Chris Stamperové, bývalí vývojáři her pro herní automaty. Ultimate vytvořila mnoho úspěšných herních titulů pro Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, , MSX a Commodore 64. Společnost ukončila činnost v roce 1987, obchodní známku odkoupila firma a Tom s Chrisem založili firmu Rare, která vyrábí hry pro herní konzole. Firma je známá neobvyklým množstvím původních hitů, které ve své historii vyrobila. V českém časopise zachytil éru her pro ZX Spectrum František Fuka článkem Ultimate a její tři revoluce. (cs)

By the time of the label's last use in 1988 on a retrospective compilation, Ultimate had evolved into Rare and moved on to developing titles for Nintendo consoles. Rare was purchased by Microsoft in 2002 for US$377 million, a record price for a video game developer, and now develops exclusively for Microsoft platforms such as Xbox and Microsoft Windows. In 2006, Rare revived the "Ultimate Play the Game" name for an Xbox Live Arcade remake of Jetpac named Jetpac Refuelled. In 2015, several Ultimate titles were collected and released as part of the Rare Replay compilation for Xbox One. (en)

Ultimate lançcou uma série de jogos bem sucedidos para ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, BBC Micro, MSX, e Commodore 64 entre 1983 e 1988.

Por volta de 1988, a Ultimate já havia se transformado na Rare, e continuou a desenvolver títulos para os consoles da Nintendo. A Rare foi comprada pela Microsoft em 2002 por 377 milhões de dólares, um preço recorde para uma desenvolvedora de jogos, passando a criar títulos exclusivamente para as plataformas da Microsoft.

  • Ultimate Play the Game (сокр. Ultimate) — разработчик компьютерных игр для домашних компьютеров в 1980-х годах. Ultimate Play the Game была торговой маркой Ashby Computers & Graphics Ltd (ACG), компании-разработчика программного обеспечения, основанной в 1982 году братьями Тимом и Крисом Стэмпер. Ultimate выпустила серию успешных игр для компьютеров Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, BBC Micro, MSX и Commodore 64 с 1982 года вплоть до своего закрытия в 1988 году. Ultimate, по-видимому, лучше всего помнят за такие хиты как Jetpac и Sabre Wulf, распроданные тиражом более 300 000 экземпляров, а также за их новаторскую серию изометрических квестов на движке Filmation, начатую игрой Knight Lore. После 1988 года Ultimate стала называться Rare и переключилась на разработку для игровых приставок компании Nintendo. В 2002 году Rare была приобретена компанией Microsoft по рекордной цене в 375 млн долларов, и после этого, за редкими исключениями, сосредоточилась на разработке игр для семейства игровых приставок Xbox. В частности, для Xbox Live Arcade был выпущен ремейк Jetpac Refuelled. (ru)
