History
Tom Siavi had been hosting the local television series Cartridge Corner since 1982, and had gotten enamoured with the video gaming industry. In early 1987, he left the now-thriving show and headed down to Anaheim. Once there, he started pasting fliers on telephone poles up and down Los Angeles, stating "WANTED: Game designers! If interested, please write to...". To his shock, 5 people answered the fliers. After a competition was held to name the company, the name "Typhoon" was chosen. A week later, Typhoon Developments Ltd. was incorporated. [Something something blah blah. To be filled... eventually.]
