Company description


Source (partly): Wikipedia

Silmarils is a French gaming company that was founded in 1987, and named after J. R. R. Tolkien's Silmarils. It produced and developed games for the PC, Macintosh, Amiga and Atari ST.

Silmarils is known for creating extremely frustrating games in the past. Titles like Robinson's Requiem where a player died of one of a dozen or so different sicknesses within a week are still ranked among the hardest games ever created. While very innovative with titles like Boston Bomb Club and Robinson's Requiem, the French company is most closely associated with its Ishar series. Crystals of Arborea was one of the first game to offer real-time 3D environment and a large world with very few limits on movement, and the Ishar games only topped it with increasingly good graphics and longer gameplay. During the past few years, however, the company concentrated solely on 3D action games, ignoring its roots.

In June 2003, their official website disappeared.
