They weren't a "C64 game company". They released game for all popular platforms at the time. Temple of Apshai was available on TRS-80, AppleII and Atari 400/800 long before it was release on Vic-20 and C64.
Jumpman was developped for the Atari machines.
Loads of ports were made to other systems. For some strange reason there never was a port of Impossible Mission to the Atari 8 bit machines, but it was ported to the 7800.
The best game they ever made was for the hardware platform they (co)developped: The Atari Lynx. The game ? Chip's Challenge. One of the best games ever on any platform, but the Lynx version plays best IMHO.
Anyway, they were a cool company.

They WERE a C64 game company...just not ONLY a C64 gaming company. Their most successful platform was the C64. My statement was factual...of course they developed for other platforms.
Temple of Apshai was one of my favourite games, although my favourite Epyx game was Gateway to Apshai...my first C64 game on a cartridge that I bought with the system...I also owned a Lynx.

Sorry didn't realize you were in your late teens.
EDITED in case your response was tongue in cheek...but in all seriousness, they did exist and this was their logo and yes it has a tint of the pink but whatever...I like it ;) I also happen to still enjoy Anime at age 37...its something I enjoy with my daughter, whether its Robotech or Death Note im a big kid at heart.
I also like consoles but computers are/were my first/current favourites. I like gaming in general...whether arcade/pen and paper/console (kiddie)/computer ;)
