Infinite Inferno was developed by Pontus Henningsohn and Staffan Hugemark, who collaborated on the storyline. They signed a contract with Swedish mail-order company Computer Boss International (C.B.I.) in Eskilstuna. C.B.I. passed the game to the UK company Arcade Systems Ltd for publication.
Thanks to Martin/Stadium64, we learn that due to “miscellaneous issues”, the game was never officially released. C.B.I. was a major Swedish mail-order game distributor in the 1980s and regularly advertised in Datormagazinet.
Infinite Inferno was listed for sale at 269 SEK in Datormagazinet issues #4/1986, #1/1987, and #2/1987, but subsequently disappeared, suggesting there may have been a very limited release or possibly none at all.
It remains unclear if Infinite Inferno was ever sold beyond test marketing or if copies exist outside of collector circles. The GB64 database lists the year as 1985, but there may be later editions credited to C.B.I yet to discover. If you have a copy by C.B.I, please do get in touch!
