Silmarils (company)
Silmarils is a French computer game software company named after the Silmarils of J. R. R. Tolkien's saga.
Silmarils was founded in 1987 by Louis-Marie and Andre Rocques. It produced games for PC, Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Macintosh, Atari ST and Atari Falcon.
The company is most closely associated with its Ishar series. Crystals of Arborea was one of the first games to offer real-time 3D environment and a large world with very few limits on movement. During the past few years, however, the company has concentrated solely on 3D action games. But eventually the company went bankrupt in 2003. In 2004 Rocques brothers and another former Silmarils member - Pascal Einsweiler have founded new studio called EverSim specialized in political strategy games.[1]
