History

TalonSoft was founded in March 1995, by video game producers Jim Rose and John Davidson.[citation needed] On December 24, 1998, Take-Two Interactive announced that it had acquired TalonSoft, stating that they planned to push their capabilities in the personal computer video game market.[1][2] The deal comprised 1,033,336 shares accounted as a pooling-of-interest.[3] Bengur Bryan represented TalonSoft in the purchase.[4] By early 1999, TalonSoft's most successful game was East Front, with sales near 90,000 units.[5] TalonSoft ceased all operations in 2002.[6] In October 2005, Matrix Games acquired the rights to publish all games developed by TalonSoft.[7][8]
