Toys for Bob

Encyclopedia : T : TO : TOY : Toys for Bob


Toys For Bob is a small video game developer founded in 1989 by Paul Reiche III and Fred Ford. They created the cult-hit Star Control series (including Star Control II, but not the third installment) for Accolade, after which they went on to create a number of games for Crystal Dynamics, including the hectic combination of action and strategy, The Horde, Pandemonium and The Unholy War (which was released as Little Witching Mischiefs in Japan by Bandai).

This relationship with Crystal Dynamics ended in 2002. The company has been bought since by Activision (on May 3, 2005), and is now a wholly owned subsidiary - the management team and employees have all signed long-term contracts with Activision, and Toys For Bob will remain in place in Novato, California.
