Sir-Tech

Sir-Tech was a computer game publisher and developer, best known for the Wizardry computer role-playing game series.

The Jagged Alliance series (started in 1994) was also a popular franchise. Though out of print for years, some fans claim it is still the best squad-based strategy game ever.

The management of Sir-Tech blamed their demise on "several shady developers" who had failed to deliver completed games on time, in time for publishing. The truth may be a bit different, however. Sir-Tech had released a string of flops (such as Armed and Delirious (1997) where the user plays a grandmother suffering from senility) and was unable to survive on the meager revenue stream these weak titles provided.
