FIL (France Image Logiciel) was a leading French software publisher and distributor in the 1980s. They were the exclusive French distributor for Activision[2], releasing their home computer ports of Sega games, including a French exclusive port of Enduro Racer for the Thomson MO5. In October 1988 it was announced that they had obtained the home computer publishing rights to Shinobi to be released on their new "Rebel" label and to be produced by The Sales Curve.[2] Shortly afterwards the company went into administration,[3] falling into liquidation by the end of the year.[1][4]

Before being liquidated FIL relinquished the licenses under the Rebel label to The Sales Curve in exchange for monies owed.[5] The publishing rights to Shinobi eventually got picked up by Virgin Games,[6] with The Sales Curve continuing to produce it.
