Micro Forté was founded in 1985 with the America's Cup licence for the eight-bit Commodore 64 as its first title. Micro Forté, now known as Micro Forté Studios, stands as one of the oldest in Australia with studios in both Sydney and Canberra.
Founded by John De Margheriti in 1985 with co-founders Steve Wang, Stephen Lewis and John Reidy, Micro Forté was the creation of a group of university friends with a passion for software development and computer games. Simon Hayes joined the company in 1986 and was promoted to the CTO position when John Reidy left to pursue his personal ambitions around 1988. Together, John, Steve and Simon have been the business, creative and technical force behind the company for over 23 years. [1]
Micro Forté has been closely linked to the growth of the Australian game development industry, with CEO John De Margheriti initiating events such as the Australian Game Developers Conference (AGDC) and founding the Academy of Interactive Entertainment (AIE) which have helped to lift the profile and create a pool of talent for the industry in Australia. Micro Forté is also closely associated with BigWorld Tech.
