Rich Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 21 years ago I did a week's work experience from School at Krisalis Software at Teque House in Rotherham, does anyone know if they're still there? I'd like to contact them and see if they have any IT based job vacancies. I doubt they'd remember the 14 year old me from 21 years ago, but anything's worth a pop right?

Guest Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 They went out of business in 2001, according to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 If I remember correctly, it was some of the guys from Gremlin Graphics that started Krisalis? I think they now make games on the 360 & PS3, Sega All Stars Racing being one of them.. I might be wrong though, but I think they're now called Sumo Digital, based in Sheffield somewhere (Attercliffe area). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Erikson Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 The games industry is so fast moving. Hardly any from two consoles ago are still around. Obviously the big ones still exist. Except for Akklaim, they died a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've seen the Sumo Digital place, it's on the road that goes down to Meadowhall iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Kavanaugh is still in games and now runs http://www.kavcom.co.uk/ Shaun Hollingworth, wrote a successful disc/file encryption system that ended up being called "DriveCrypt". http://www.securstar.com/home.php Pete Harrap left the games industry for a while, but is now back converting the bitmap bro's game "Z" to the iPad. http://www.kavcom.co.uk/2011/04/03/kavcom-links-licensing-deal-for-the-bitmap-brothers-classic-z/ I think they now make games on the 360 & PS3, Sega All Stars Racing being one of them.. I might be wrong though, but I think they're now called Sumo Digital, based in Sheffield somewhere (Attercliffe area). There's no connection, though some ex-krysalis staff work at Sumo Digital, it is not in anyway connected to Krysalis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent bloke Pete. Don't remember the Flintstones, but he did write Monty Mole (which I loved). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
