1 About the Company

Punch Card Games has been developing computer games since the late 1970s, when punch cards were still being used and games (like Colossal Cave Adventure) were run on mainframe computers (like the IBM 360 and PDP-10). As the industry evolved, they moved from mainframes to personal computers, and started using the shorter version of their name, PC Games. They then started developing software for game consoles and, most recently, for mobile devices (including smartphones). They are especially well-known for their attention to game play and narrative, but they have also created games with extraordinary visual and auditory content.

There are two different ways to read the name Punch Card Games. "Punch" can be a modifier of "Card Games" (one of the companies specialties), or "Punch Card" can be a modifier of "Games" (because the company has been making games since the days of punch cards).
