Based in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Founded by Mark E. Seremet and F.J. Lennon in 1985 (Pennsylvania business entity number 175631). A group of Paragon developers left to found Event Horizon Software (later Dreamforge Intertainment) in 1990. Paragon was acquired by MicroProse in 1992 to become an internal studio [1]. Circa 1994, the studio either changed hands again or was shut down and re-formed, becoming newly-founded Take-Two's internal studio, responsible for Star Crusader, Hell, Bureau 13, Black Dahlia, Ripper, Iron & Blood, and Jetfighter: Full Burn (with Mission Studios). It might have then transformed again to become Gearhead Studios (Pennyslvania business entity number 2815248) which developed Bass Hunter 64 [2].
