Task Force Games

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Task Force Games was a game company started in 1979 by Allen Eldridge and Stephen Cole. Mr. Cole left the company in the early 80's, but continued to design the company's best selling Star Fleet Battles game. Mr. Eldridge sold the company to New World Computing in 1988. The company went through an additional change of ownership and is currently out of business.

The Star Fleet Battles series of games is currently published by the original designers, Amarillo Design Bureau Inc.

TFG published many games, including the Starfire series of games which were later novelized by David Weber into such books as In Death Ground, The Shiva Option and Insurrection. They also published historical games such as Battlewagon and History of the Second World War.
