Canopus Co., Ltd. was a manufacturer of video editing cards and video editing software. The company's focus shifted from enthusiast video cards to other areas of video hardware and software after the release of their Spectra line of products. Some of their previous competitors included Matrox and Pinnacle Systems. In 2005 Thomson Multimedia acquired Canopus to bolster their Grass Valley broadcasting and network product line. When 3dfx's Voodoo series of PC-gaming-oriented 3D graphics cards became popular in the mid-1990s, Canopus produced the Pure3D, a Voodoo graphics processor-based graphics card with 6 MB of memory instead of the standard 4 MB. When the Voodoo 2 was released, the Canopus Pure3D II was praised for the fact that their cards were shorter than competitors' Voodoo 2 cards. Canopus had a reputation for driver optimization that gave a performance advantage over other cards. They were the cards of choice for Maximum PC's 1998 Dream Machine. Canopus also released a version of the nVidia TNT that offered a unique internal cable that connected the TNT card to the Voodoo2 based Pure3D II—as opposed to the standard connection with an external cable. The Canopus DVStorm2 was a realtime video editing card that Canopus discontinued in early 2005. Canopus is also known for EDIUS, non-linear video editing software, and a transcoder application called ProCoder.

Cavedog Entertainment, or Cavedog, was a video game developer based in Bothell, Washington. Cavedog gained the attention of gamers and the gaming press alike with the 1997 release of Total Annihilation (TA), winning many accolades such as multiple Game of the Year honors or being one of The Greatest Games of All Time. Cavedog Entertainment was a label created in 1996 by Humongous Entertainment, a developer of children's computer games founded by Ron Gilbert and Shelley Day, to pursue the creation of mainstream games. Humongous Entertainment was originally independent, but was purchased in 1996 by GT Interactive, a video game publisher later acquired by Infogrames in 1999 (later renamed to Atari). In the same year Squaresoft closed its office in Redmond, so many of their former developers were hired for Cavedog, notably game music composer Jeremy Soule and graphics designer Clayton Kauzlaric, who created the logo for Cavedog. After two years of development on Cavedog's first product, Total Annihilation, it was presented at the E3 at Atlanta 1997 and published on September 30, 1997. The game's creator, Chris Taylor, left the company shortly before the release of the Total Annihilation: Core Contingency expansion pack to found his own development house, Gas Powered Games. Despite this loss, Cavedog released one more expansion pack, Total Annihilation: Battle Tactics, as well as many freely downloadable enhancements and patches, and built strong community support with their own online service Boneyards (now shut down) that matched opponents and provided a continuing game campaign. In 1999, Cavedog released the eagerly anticipated Total Annihilation: Kingdoms.TA:Kingdoms largely reused the TA game engine, replacing the science fiction theme with one of fantasy.TA:Kingdoms did not resonate as well with critics or fans of the original title. One expansion pack was released, The Iron Plague. The closure of Cavedog came as the game industry began to experience a downturn in sales, to which parent company GT Interactive was no exception. Besides the TA franchise, Cavedog had three ambitious games in development, but only Total Annihilation and TA:Kingdoms made it to store shelves and their sales were much smaller than their user base. The unfinished projects were Amen: The Awakening, a first-person shooter; Elysium, a fantasy adventure title, and Good & Evil, an adventure title from Ron Gilbert. With GT Interactive spiraling into debt and no ship dates in sight, all three were discontinued by the Fall of 1999. GT Interactive was purchased by Infogrames and the Cavedog label was discarded by Humongous Entertainment in 2000, which renewed its focus on children's games. Cavedog declared bankruptcy in 2000. Humongous Entertainment was shut down in 2005 by Infogrames (now called Atari). Cavedog's developers have played significant roles at Gas Powered Games and Beep Industries.

It all started in late 2000, when Alex Austin decided to take the advanced physics engine that he developed for a vehicle combat game, and throw it into a little puzzle game called Bridge Builder*. After he and his friends played with it quite a bit, they decided that this game was too much fun to keep for themselves and he released the 15-level demo to the masses. When the server that was hosting the game got inundated with downloads, and was forced to be taken off the T1 it was on because it was taking up to much bandwidth, he started to realize that the game might be something more than just a few people would enjoy.What followed are numerous dedicated fan sites, an appearance in a German television show, and various mentions in magazines including PC Gamer and Der Spiegel. Meanwhile, while he had made a whopping $20 from all-too-profitable Internet advertising, Alex had decided that being broke wasn't that fun and decided to get a job. He hadn't given up on the game yet though. He knew that all he had to do was make a newer, better version and the community that was already building would support him.With a full-time job, work on the game was slow, and on top of that, Pre-Engineering Software Corporation sent him an e-mail telling him that they had trademarked the name Bridge Builder* and that he needed to take down his website. Although he wasn't charging anything for the game and Pre-Engineering Software Corporation's Bridge Builder is educational software that costs $99 and hasn't had a build since 1997, he decided that he didn't want to get into a legal battle over such a simple name, so he complied with their wishes. The community still thrives though, thanks to unofficial websites like www.bridgebuilder-game.com Chronic Logic, LLC (or short Chronic Logic) is an independent video game studio and publisher located in Santa Cruz, California, United States. It was founded in 2001 by Alex Austin and Ben Nichols after Austin's Bridge Builder became popular. Their first release was Pontifex in October of that year. In 2002, Josiah Pisciotta joined the company, but for that, Nichols left. In 2003, Edmund McMillen created contract art for an upcoming video game, which resulted in the 2004 video game Gish. However, McMillen did not continue working with Chronic Logic. In late 2005, Austin left the company, leaving Pisciotta alone in the company. Since then, Austin continued working alone under his pseudonym Cryptic Sea. He also received the rights to all of Chronic Logic's games, sharing the rights to Gish with McMillen. Pisciotta kept the rights for the sales made on their website. Though Chronic Logic was basically defunct, Austin, Nichols and Pisciotta sometimes collaborated to create new games under its name. The first collaborated game was Kingdom Elemental in 2008.

Cinemaware was a computer game developer and publisher that released several popular titles in the 1980s based on various movie themes. The company was resurrected in 2000, before being acquired by eGames in 2005. Founded in 1985 by Bob and Phyllis Jacob, Cinemaware's first title was the popular Defender of the Crown, a swashbuckling adventure featuring graphics that were considered extraordinary for the era. Bob Jacob was a movie buff, and Cinemaware released other popular games based on classic movie genres that also emphasized action, graphics, and ease of play. Its games generally debuted on the most graphically powerful home computer of the era, the Amiga, and then ported to others, such as the Apple IIGS, Atari ST, Commodore 64, PC (running under DOS), and the Nintendo Entertainment System.Defender of the Crown is the most ported Cinemaware game. Cinemaware eventually expanded to sports games, with its "TV Sports" line, which featured elements of sports telecasts such as studio announcers. The "TV Sports" line covered basketball, ice hockey and football. Some of the titles were only known by "TV Sports" name in Europe, TV Sports: Boxing and TV Sports: Baseball, which were released in the United States by Data East as ABC Wide World of Sports Boxing and Bo Jackson Baseball respectively. Cinemaware went bankrupt in 1991. While porting S.D.I. to another system, one of the company's owners demanded the programmers add more features, increasing the programming time and delaying the product's release. Coupled with falling sales of their other titles in the midst of an economic downturn, the company suffered. The company also suffered from software piracy, threatening to stop publishing Amiga games at several points because of the ease by which computer games could be copied. Many of their games, including Wings, were cracked and spread amongst gamers even before release.

Cryo Interactive Entertainment was a French video game development and publishing company founded in 1992, but existing unofficially since 1989 as a developer group under the name Cryo. Cryo was formed by members of ERE Informatique who left Infogrames (proprietor of ERE since 1986) – among these were Philippe Ulrich, Rémi Herbulot and Jean-Martial Lefranc. The first game developed under the Cryo Interactive moniker was the hit Dune, which granted the newly formed software company both publicity and funding for further games under Virgin until 1996, when Cryo started self-publishing inside the European market, and in North America through then partially owned Canadian publisher DreamCatcher Interactive. Cryo made its name mostly through adaptations of already existing stories (such as Riverworld, based on Philip José Farmer's novel and Ubik by Philip K. Dick) or those based on historical scenarios (like KGB, a game set days before the dissolution of the Soviet Union and several games based in Ancient Egypt, Qing Dynasty's China and Louis XIV's France, developed with Cryo's Omni3D engine). Although most of the post-Virgin games managed to capture and stay true to the original settings, poor interfaces and the lack of worldwide distribution turned little profit from each game.

In 1991, Cyan began work on Myst, a project that would expand the world of computer entertainment. The goal was to use what they had learned building the successful worlds for children, to create a whole new world for everyone. Rather than being followers and simply re-purposing existing content from other media for CD-ROM, they would build from scratch a world that would take advantage of everything the vast new medium had to offer. The results were staggering. Sales for Myst and its sequel Riven are approaching 9 million units worldwide, almost $250 million in revenue; by far the best selling computer games in history. And now the journey continues. The next step is both obvious and striking. An entirely new medium broadband Internet is once again waiting to be defined, beckoning for content. Cyan has redefined itself as Cyan Worlds, and has been growing, building, and expanding to create one final new world, a world unlike anything previously possible, a world that will never end.Cyan Inc., also known as Cyan Worlds Inc., is an American video game developer, founded as Cyan Productions by brothers Rand and Robyn Miller in 1987, and best known as the creators of the Myst series. After Myst and its sequel Riven sold several million copies each, Cyan went on to create the massively multiplayer online adventure, Uru, which was cancelled and re-opened several times. After the departure of brother Robyn Miller from "Cyan, Inc.," a second company, "Cyan Worlds, Inc.," was started. Both companies are located in Mead, Washington, just outside Spokane.
