Atomic Games, Inc. was an American video game developer based in Austin, Texas, specializing in wargames. The company was founded by Keith Zabalaoui in 1989, and is best known for developing the Close Combat series of real-time strategy video games, as well as the title V for Victory.[1] In December 2000, due the cancellation of a project titled Hammer's Slammers, Atomic Games laid off its entire staff, only keeping three executives.[2][3] Atomic Games was acquired by Destineer on May 6, 2005, while collaborating on Close Combat: Red Phoenix and Close Combat: First to Fight.[4][5] Atomic Games was developing a third-person shooter, Six Days in Fallujah, in cooperation with Konami, until the latter decided to withdraw from the project in August 2009, causing significant layoffs at Atomic Games.[6][7][8] The company went on to finish the game, but never released it.[9] Atomic Games released the game called Breach, which is a multiplayer-only downloadable first-person shooter.[10]
