Background: Cyberlore Studios was one of the most acclaimed game developers, famous for its adventure games and MechWarrior series. In 2005, Cyberlore ceased development of entertainment games after the collapse of their publisher Hip Games, and the subsequent layoff of 2/3 of their staff. Finally they reorganised to develop educational titles.
