Epyx

Epyx was a prominent video game developer and publisher that operated primarily during the 1980s. The company was known for its innovative and high-quality games across various platforms, including home computers and gaming consoles.
Epyx was founded in 1978 in Sunnyvale, California, by a group of former Apple employees. Initially, the company focused on developing software for early personal computers, such as the Apple II and Atari 8-bit computers.

In the early 1980s, Epyx shifted its focus to video games, becoming one of the leading developers and publishers in the industry. They released games for a wide range of platforms, including the Commodore 64, Atari 2600, Atari 7800, and later, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

Despite their early success, Epyx faced financial difficulties in the late 1980s due to factors such as market saturation and increased competition. In 1989, the company filed for bankruptcy protection and eventually ceased operations. Some of its assets were acquired by other companies, including Atari Corporation.
