Intelligent Games
Intelligent Games Ltd was a British
video game developer based in
London. The company was established in 1988 as
The Intelligent Games Co. by Matthew Stibbe, who was studying at
Pembroke College in
Oxford. Following his graduation and the releases of ''Nam 1965–1975'' and ''
Imperium'', Stibbe relocated to London in 1992, where he incorporated Intelligent Games in 1993. He hired ''Imperium'' producer Kevin Shrapnell as director of development, who aimed for the company to develop "hit-driven, brand-led" games, among them a series of
PGA Tour games (initiated by Steve Cuss) and a tie-in to the film ''
Waterworld''. The latter attracted
Westwood Studios, which worked with Intelligent Games on ''
Dune 2000'' (a remake of ''
Dune II'') and expansions for ''
Command & Conquer: Red Alert''. Relocating multiple times within London, Intelligent Games grew to 65 employees by 1999. That year, Westwood was unsuccessful in acquiring Intelligent Games but inspired Stibbe to want to leave the company. He sold it to Shrapnell, Cuss, and Neil Jones in June 2000 and departed that same year. Intelligent Games continued producing games, eventually eyeing the
mobile and
console markets, until running out of money in 2002. The company closed and all assets were liquidated in December 2002.
