Sunstorm Interactive
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sunstorm Interactive was an Indianapolis-based company that designed video games. Founded in 1995 by Anthony Campiti, it specialized in hunting simulators and first-person shooters. The majority of their titles were small scale "value titles", priced between $20 and $30 as compared to the typical computer game that was priced at $50 at the time.

[edit] Overview
The company enjoyed their original moderate success by developing add-ons for build engine first-person shooters such as Duke Nukem 3D, Blood and Redneck Rampage. At this point, the company had approximately 6 full-time employees.
Sunstorm finally made an industry name for itself when it developed the first hunting simulation game Deer Hunter in 1997. Deer Hunter opened up an entirely new genre and spawned many sequels as well as copy-cats.
The company relocated to a new office and increased the staff size significantly. They followed up with many more hunting simulators and attempted to branch back into developing action games with titles such as the side scroller Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project. However, they were not able to achieve the same level of success again and finally shut down in early 2003 citing financial and staffing difficulties as the primary reasons.
