MicroProse Software, Inc. (also known as MicroProse Simulation Software) was an American video game developer, founded in 1982 by Sid Meier and Bill Stealey. It is known as the publisher of the majority of Meier's hit computer games, such as Pirates, Silent Service, Railroad Tycoon, Civilization and for the sci-fi X-COM series.
History
In the early 1980s, MicroProse was primarily known as a publisher of flight and military simulation titles for 8-bit home computers such as the Commodore 64, Apple II, and Atari 8-bit family. As the industry changed, it moved with it, supporting IBM PC compatibles and 68000-based machines like the Amiga and Atari ST. Also in the mid- to late-1980s, MicroProse began publishing a number of strategy games.
In 1990 and 1991 it released the blockbusters Railroad Tycoon and Civilization, which quickly became two of the best-selling strategy games of all time. However, the company quickly ran into financial trouble because it followed those releases with a large number of titles into a saturated market. It also made an unsuccessful venture into the creation of an arcade flight simulator.
