Silicon Knights was a Canadian studio founded in 1992 and based in St. Catharines, Ontario, that cut its teeth on PC and MS-DOS strategy hybrids before becoming famous for ambitious, story-driven console games. On DOS, the team blended empire management with tactical action in Cyber Empires and Fantasy Empires, then delivered board-game-style duels in Dark Legions and the quirky monster-bashing defense game The Horde. That taste for big systems and strong atmosphere later surfaced in titles like Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem and Too Human.
