ATTENTION: This entry is a WORK IN PROGRESS
This entry is not finished. Please use with caution.

Based in Greensburg, later Latrobe, 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]. Due to MicroProse's financial troubles in 1993 (which eventually led to the Spectrum HoloByte merger), the studio was supposed to be closed, but the founders re-acquired the assets from MicroProse and the Pennsylvania location became the in-house studio of Take-Two Interactive [2]. It might have transformed again to become Gearhead Studios (Pennyslvania business entity number 2815248) which developed Bass Hunter 64 [3].
