They went out of business in 2001. Attic's most famous games were the Realms of Arkania trilogy, a series of role-playing games based on the popular German tabletop game Das Schwarze Auge.

1st Logo (1990-December 7, 1995)

2nd Logo (1996)
Logo: A shining dot zooms in the center of the screen, and four shapes fly from the side to take their place behind each other.

3rd Logo (December 1996-1997)

Music/Sounds: A dramatic beating synth with the sound of wings, fading at the end.
