Interesting.. I imagine they went down the blackhole of death, like everything else back then lol. Thankfully AtariMania remains and it is truly an incredible website - thank you!

Not sure if it's the same company but according to this data it was dissolved in 1999 after last annual return made in july 1997. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/02840315

Whatever happened to Caspian? I remember them featured in magazines at the time.. big plans & all that. But only two games. Albeit great games! But a shame there wasn't more :/

Pretty nice game and I guess one of the very last commercial games on STE ever.
