All of the peeps @ Enigma where self employed , and they all went on to
setup there own companys ( Twilight & Hookstone where 2 off em ) , the rest
still work in the industry ( Climax , Rtd , Rare , Bitmap Brother's and Ea
are the ones i know of)

The bod who ran the offices ( MArk Green I think ) , is currently hiding
from mr Vat man

..some of the ex-enigma peeps are at psygnosis now as well. Mark G did go
and live in france for
a while to avoid the tax-man (working for some games company or other) ..but
i think he returned
to the uk and now runs another company called G3

enigma stopped doing sam games when it stopped making money. When the first
games cames
out, everyone bought them, as there was not much software around for the
sam. After a while,
sales dropped to around 500 copies a title which enigma decided was'nt
enough to
cover costs (funny that coz i was writing them being paid something like 50p
an hour ! ;o)

To be honest, enigma did rip-people off, (the sam club etc) i can remember
being pushed to finish 
sphera off for some computer show or another, there was no way of doing it
so they told me to make it
crash in a certain part, so they could release it (sell it) and then i could
finish the game off,
and they would release it as a patch later on....very, very dodgy, but that
was how enigma
operated (tip to any new coders : never work for small dodgy companies, coz
this shit
still goes on now....i'm 10yrs wiser now....) 

rob :o)
