Teeny Weeny Games Ltd (TWG) was a British development company founded by Angela Sutherland after setting up Beam Software's UK/European branch ("Beam UK"). It was incorporated on 13 May 1991.
Beam Software development manager/programmer Gregg Barnett apparently came to acquire Beam UK, which became Perfect 10 Productions. He brought in Sutherland as a partner, thus making Perfect 10 and TWG sister companies. The two companies eventually "merged" into Perfect Entertainment, though TWG continued to exist as a separate legal entity. Perfect Entertainment went into liquidation in 1999 after protracted wranglings with Psygnosis and Sony; staff and resources were then transferred to TWG [1], which carried on development until going into liquidation in 2000. TWG was dissolved on 25 October 2002.
