Formed from the merger of 17-Bit Software and Team 7, the developer became highly prominent in the Amiga gaming market during the early 1990s. They developed acclaimed titles such as Alien Breed, Project X, and Superfrog before achieving massive global success with the Worms franchise. Today, they operate as a major indie games publisher and developer.
The company's early portfolio includes the 1990 Amiga conversion of the arcade hit
Super Off Road and the puzzle-platformer
Qwak, originally designed in 1987 and later updated for wider release. As the studio expanded its technical capabilities, it released
Alien Breed: Special Edition 92 in 1992, which refined their top-down shooter formula. This was followed by the updated shooter
Project X in 1993, showcasing advanced graphical techniques of the era.
In 1994, the developer experienced a highly prolific year, releasing several distinct titles across multiple genres. These included the sports simulation
Arcade Pool, the updated platformer
Superfrog, and the fighting game
Ultimate Body Blows. That same year, they also released
Alien Breed: Tower Assault, which introduced non-linear level progression to the sci-fi series. These releases established the studio's reputation for high production values and polished gameplay, paving the way for their transition into multi-platform development and third-party publishing in the decades that followed.
