Background

In 1994, video game developers Erick S. Dyke, Dan O'Leary and Sean Purcell founded n-Space in 1994 with the help of funding from Sony Computer Entertainment of America, with its first game being Tigershark for Microsoft Windows and the PlayStation. n-Space would exclusively publish games for the aforementioned platforms until 2002. With their last game being Sword Coast Legends, n-Space would later be closed down in March 22, 2016.
