Teeny Weeny Games Ltd (TWG) was a British development company founded by Angela Sutherland after starting up Beam Software's UK/European branch ("Beam UK" [1] or "Beam Europe" [2]). [3] 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 [4], thus making Perfect 10 and TWG sister companies. [5] TWG eventually "merged" with Perfect 10, which became Perfect Entertainment [6], but TWG continued to exist as a separate legal entity. Perfect Entertainment went into liquidation in 1999 after protracted legal wranglings with Psygnosis and Sony over payment; staff and resources were then transferred to TWG [7], which carried on until it too went into liquidation in 2000. TWG was dissolved on 25 October 2002.
