Krisalis Software Ltd.
Overview
Teque Software Development Ltd. was a United Kingdom developing company. It was founded in 1987 by
Tony Kavanagh,
Peter Harrap and
Shaun Hollingworth.
Some of the company's first original titles were
Terramex,
The Flintstones, and
Thunderbirds. Teque also programmed conversions (ports) of arcade titles for other companies for 8 and 16 bit platforms.
Teque Software experienced success and growth, and in 1988 the publishing label
Krisalis (originally spelled
Chrysalis) was established for the release of its original games. The company continued to convert games for other companies including
Grandslam and
Domark for several years using the name Teque Software.
In 1991 the Teque name was dropped and
Krisalis Software Ltd. was born. (Sister company,
Teque London Ltd., totally independent, continued using the Teque name.)
Krisalis Software Ltd. continued developing and publishing original games and conversions for ten years. The company went out of business in November 2001.
