{{Infobox company | type = subsidiary of the [[TT Games]] group | products = [[Video game]]s | parent = independent company (1989-November 8, 2007)<br>[[Time Warner]] (November 8, 2007–present) |title = Traveller's Tales |image = Tt_games_2.gif |founded = 1989 (foundation)<br>1990 (fully established) |headquarters = |website = [http://www.ttgames.com/ TT Games]}} '''Traveller's Tales''' is a [[United Kingdom|British]] [[software house]] found in 1989 and fully established in 1990 and based in [[Knutsford]], [[Cheshire]]. It is part of the [[TT Games]] group—after the merger of publisher Giant Interactive and the developer Traveller's Tales—along with TT Games Publishing. Although, in its early years, the software house developed various games based on original contents, since 1999 it mainly focused on the development of [[tie-ins]] based on movies, TV shows and television series. ==History== Traveller's Tales started developing games with [[Psygnosis]], which they were most notable for creating 3D effects, possibly in order to add minor realism. Their first game was ''[[Leander (computer game)|Leander]]'', also known as ''The Legend of Galahad''. With Psygnosis they also did a video game adaption of [[Bram Stoker's Dracula (video game)|Bram Stoker's Dracula]], as well as other original productions like ''[[Puggsy]]''. And thanks to an agreement between Psygnosis / [[Sony Imagesoft]] (because of Sony already owning Psygnosis at that time) and [[Walt Disney Pictures|Disney]], Traveller's Tales could produce several games based on Disney's properties, such as the original Mickey Mouse game ''[[Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse|Mickey Mania]]'' and other games based on [[Pixar]] movies like ''[[Toy Story (video game)|Toy Story]]'', ''[[Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue|Toy Story 2]]'' and ''[[Finding Nemo (video game)|Finding Nemo]]'' (the latter two thanks to agreements with [[Activision]] and [[THQ]]). However, Traveller's Tales was best known in the 90s for their second-party collaboration with [[Sega]] to develop games based on the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] franchise, resulting in ''[[Sonic 3D]]'' and ''[[Sonic R]]'', which were produced in close effort with Sega's [[Sonic Team]]. Both games were regarded as technical achievements in the [[Mega Drive]] (''Sonic 3D'') and the [[Sega Saturn]] (''Sonic R''), ensuring them in a high-tech development status they already had with games like ''Puggsy'', ''Mickey Mania'' and ''Toy Story''. In the most recent years, they are renowned because of the hugely successful ''[[Lego Star Wars: The Video Game]]''. Their recent work includes the popular franchise [[Crash Bandicoot (series)|Crash Bandicoot]], [[The Chronicles of Narnia]], ''[[Super Monkey Ball Adventure]]'', ''[[Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy]]'', and WRC and F1 for the PSP. They have sold over 60 million games to date, and have won two [[BAFTA]]s; one for Gameplay with ''[[Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy]]'', and one for Children's Videogame of the Year for ''[[Lego Batman: The Video Game]]''. The company was purchased by [[Warner Bros.]] at the end of November 8, 2007, but will continue to operate, with the development of ''[[Lego Batman: The Video Game]]'', which came out in September 2008. One of their most recent releases is ''[[Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4]]''.<ref>http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/987/987872p1.html</ref><ref>http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/warner-confirms-lego-harry-potter_9</ref> while [[Lord of the Rings]] has been rumored.<ref>{{cite news|author=Ben Fritz|title=Lord of the Rings game rights now at Warner Bros.|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=2009-03-12|url=http://weblogs.variety.com/the_cut_scene/2009/03/lord-of-the-rings-ga.html|accessdate=2009-03-14}}</ref> The company was originally located in a small office in [[Southport]], England, but later moved to larger offices in [[Knutsford]], in [[Cheshire]]. ==Titles== {|class="wikitable sortable" !Name!!Year!!Publisher |- |''[[Leander (video game)|Leander]]''||1991||[[Psygnosis]] |- |''[[Bram Stoker's Dracula (video game)|Bram Stoker's Dracula]]''||1993||[[Psygnosis]]/[[Sony Imagesoft]] |- |''[[Puggsy]]''||1993||[[Psygnosis]] |- |''[[Mickey Mania]]''||1994||[[Psygnosis]]/[[Sony Imagesoft]] |- |''[[Toy Story (video game)|Disney's Toy Story]]''||1995||[[Psygnosis]]/[[Disney Interactive]] |- |''[[Sonic 3D]]''||1996||[[SEGA]] |- |''[[Sonic R]]''||1997||[[SEGA]] |- |''[[Rascal (video game)|Rascal]]''||1998||[[Sony Computer Entertainment|SCEI]] |- |''[[A Bug's Life (video game)|Disney/Pixar's A Bug's Life]]''||1998||[[Disney Interactive]] |- |''[[Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue]]''||1999||[[Activision]]/[[Disney Interactive]] |- |''[[Muppet RaceMania]]''||2000||[[Midway Games|Midway]] |- |''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]''||2000||[[Activision]]/[[Disney Interactive]] |- |''[[Toy Story Racer]]''||2001||[[Activision]]/[[Disney Interactive]] |- |''[[Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex]]''||2001||[[Vivendi Games|Universal Interactive Studios]] |- |''[[Haven: Call of the King]]''||2002||[[Midway Games|Midway]] |- |''[[Finding Nemo (video game)|Disney/Pixar's Finding Nemo]]''||2003||[[THQ]]/[[Disney Interactive]] |- |''[[Crash Twinsanity]]''||2004||[[Vivendi Universal Games]] |- |''[[Lego Star Wars: The Video Game]]''||2005||[[Lucasarts]] |- |''[[World Rally Championship (video game series)|WRC]]'' ([[PlayStation Portable|PSP]] version)||2005||[[Sony Computer Entertainment|SCEI]] |- |''[[The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (video game)|The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe]]''||2005||[[Buena Vista Games]] |- |''[[F1 Grand Prix (2005 video game)|F1 Grand Prix]]''||2005||[[Sony Computer Entertainment|SCEI]] |- |''[[Super Monkey Ball Adventure]]''||2006||[[SEGA]] |- |''[[Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy]]''||2006||[[Lucasarts]] |- |''[[Bionicle Heroes]]''||2006||[[Eidos Interactive]] |- |''[[Transformers: The Game]]''||2007||[[Activision]] |- |''[[Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga]]''||2007||[[Lucasarts]] |- |''[[Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures]]''||2008||[[Lucasarts]] |- |''[[Lego Batman: The Video Game]]''||2008||[[Warner Bros.
