Overall, Krisalis software worked on over 60 different computer and console games before permanently closing on November 30, 2001. Their final game development was a port of ''The F.A. Premier League Stars 2001'' for the [[Game Boy Color]] (released on June 8, 2001). == History == The Krisalis name was originally used as a subsidiary label (beginning in [[1988 in video gaming|1988]]) under Teque software until the official company name was changed to ''Krisalis Software Ltd.'' in [[1991 in video gaming|1991]]. Originally, the name was intended to be ''Chrysalis Software Ltd.'', but a dispute with a small record company resulted in a minor spelling change. == Games developed == ; 1990: * ''[[Manchester United (video game series)|Manchester United]]'' (Acorn Archimedes, Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum) * ''[[Jahangir Khan's World Championship Squash]]'' (Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, DOS, ZX Spectrum) ; 1991: * ''[[Manchester United (video game series)|Manchester United Europe]]'' (Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, DOS, ZX Spectrum) * ''[[Face-Off (video game)|Face-Off]]'' (Amiga, Atari ST) * ''[[Rogue Trooper computer and video games#16-bit Computer Game .281990.29|Rogue Trooper]]'' (Amiga, Atari ST) * ''[[Hill Street Blues#Computer game|Hill Street Blues]]'' (Amiga, Atari ST, DOS) ; 1992: * ''[[Laser Squad]]'' (DOS) * ''[[European Club Soccer]]'' (Mega Drive/Genesis) * ''[[Sabre Team]]'' (Amiga, Amiga CD32, Atari ST, DOS) * ''[[John Barnes' European Football]]'' (Amiga, Amiga CD32, Atari ST) ; 1993: * ''[[Soccer Kid]]'' (3DO, Amiga, Amiga CD32, DOS, Game Boy Advance, PlayStation, SNES) * ''[[Arabian Nights (video game)|Arabian Nights]]'' (Amiga, Amiga CD32) ; 1994: * ''[[Alone in the Dark (video game)|Alone in the Dark]]'' (3DO) * ''[[Manchester United (video game series)|Manchester United Premier League Champions]]'' (Amiga, Amiga CD32, DOS) * ''[[Big Four (video game)|Big Four]]'' (Amiga, DOS) ; 1995: * ''[[Alone in the Dark 2]]'' (3DO) * ''[[Manchester United (video game series)|Manchester United: The Double]]'' (Amiga, DOS) ; 1996: * ''[[Legends (video game)|Legends]]'' (Amiga, Amiga CD32, DOS) * ''[[Player of the Year (video game)|Player of the Year]]'' (DOS) * ''[[Starfighter 3000]]'' (DOS) ; 1997: * ''[[Aber Hallo!]]'' (DOS) ; 1998: * ''[[Hallo 2! 50 Spiele Hits]]'' (DOS) ; 2000: * ''[[Legoland (video game)|LEGO Land]]'' (Windows) * ''[[Airport Tycoon]]'' (Windows) * ''[[Cricket 2000]]'' (PlayStation) * ''[[The F.A.
