History
Kevin Cropper started KJC Games in 1981 in the United Kingdom.[1] By 1988, it was the largest PBM company in Europe.[1] The company's first game was the hand-moderated Crasimoff's World.[1] The computer-moderated Earthwood and It's a Crime soon followed, the latter becoming the "most popular PBM game in the world" in 1988.[1] The same year, KJC Games processed about 15,000 turns monthly on IBM 20MB clone computers and was exploring expansion opportunities.[1]
In 2001, KJC Games published Space Troopers—a science fiction wargame—as a play-by-email (PBEM) game at no cost to players.[2] KJC Games also began playtesting in 2001 for Phoenix: Beyond the Stellar Empire.[2]
In 2005, KJC Games' Mica Goldstone included the company in the "big three" PBM companies with Harlequin Games and Madhouse.[3]
