Microillusions
MicroIllusions, based in Granada Hills, California was a computer game developer and publisher of the home computer era. Year Founded: 1986 Year Defunct: 1990
MicroIllusions, as a company, was a strong supporter of the Commodore Amiga and would typically release a title on that platform before porting it to others.
The company went out of business in or about 1990, after losing a prestigious Hanna-Barbera license due to a contractual breach. Some of its former employees were instrumental in the foundation of the Dreamers Guild.
We know that David Boyles formed Hollyware after MicroIllusions folded but don't know about his role at MicroIllusions.
