Company History

WilderLand Software started as the dream of a young kid named Michael(Mike) Polzin. He began developing his first programs in the mid 80's on his Texas Instruments TI-99/4A home computer. Mike's focus was on adventure games that pushed the technology of the time to its limits. Eventually the technology caught up with his ideas and the first version of "The WilderLand" was born.

The first version was developed as a customized version of AMIS BBS for the Atari 8-bit computers, and was later developed as a third party add-on for a new IBM based BBS system called the Major BBS being developed by Tim Styrker of Galacticomm. The Major BBS platform allowed the game to truely come into its own, and become a fully multi-player universe. The company WilderLand Software was offically founded in 1991 to market and continue the development of this product.

The success of the game on the Major BBS platform was incredible and immedately realized. The game, played by tens of thousands of people worldwide was critically acclaimed and highlighted in magazines such as Computer Gaming World. The power of multi-player interaction made the world contained in the game come alive, and the success of "The WilderLand" spawned a line of many other products developed by the company, and an expansion into consulting as companies began to realize the value and effieciency of PC based multi-user applications.

With the onslaught of the internet, the use of BBS's began to drop and the company began looking towards bringing products to the internet. Again, the company was faced with the prospect that the technology available was not robust enough to deliver the qaulity and type of products the company wanted to deliver.

The company continued to develop the product line, knowing that at some point technology would once again come into its own and be capable of providing the experience the company was accustomed to.

Today, WilderLand Software is a company focused on developing intelligent applications for the internet, for commercial and private purposes. The companies experience developing high quality products for in excess of fifteen years uniquely positions it to not only survive, but innovate in ways other companies can only dream of. We are proud of our long and varied heritage, and look forward to a bright future bringing the best in business and entertainment products to the web.
