Founded in Würselen, Germany, in 1988 by Bernd Lehahn, Egosoft began on the Amiga before shifting to MS-DOS, where the tiny studio crafted a handful of inventive cult hits.
The prehistoric taxi-sim Ugh! (1992) mixed arcade reflexes with stone-age slapstick, while the surreal point-and-click Flies: Attack on Earth (1993) pitted players against mutant insects. Historical strategy title Imperium Romanum (1996) rounded out their DOS era just as the company prepared its celebrated X-series for Windows.
