Cyberlore Studios

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cyberlore Studios was a developer of computer games based in Northampton, Massachusetts. The company was founded by Lester Humphreys, Ken Grey, and Herb Perez. Since 1992, they produced titles based on MechWarrior, Might and Magic, Risk, and Warcraft: Orcs & Humans. They also produced Playboy: The Mansion (2004), a simulation game based on the life of Hugh Hefner and Playboy. Their most notable game is Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim.

In 2005, Cyberlore ceased development of general entertainment games after the collapse of their publisher, Hip Games, and the subsequent layoff of 2/3 of their staff. The company now focuses on the serious game corporate training market, under the new company name of Minerva.
