Fuse Games was an independent British video game development company founded in 2002, based in Burford, Oxfordshire. The studio was best known for developing games for Nintendo, specializing in pinball titles.

History

Fuse Games was originally founded in September of 2002 by Adrian Barritt and Richard Horrocks, developers of the Pro Pinball series for Cunning Developments.[1]

On November 3, 2009, following the completion of Pinball Pulse: The Ancients Beckon, Fuse Games would enter liquidation, a decision made after several shareholders had withdrawn from the company. Days following this, however, Barritt and Horrocks opened a new company, Silverball Studios, purchasing all of Fuse's assets and hiring all of the former Fuse staff.[2] In 2012, Silverball was acquired by Barnstorm Games, becoming their primary in-house development team.[3]
