===Background===
'''Paradigm Entertainment''' was founded as a 3D computer graphics company named "Paradigm Simulations" in 1990, and primarily worked on realistic flight simulation technology for major space and aviation clients. The company started the development of ''Pilotwings 64'', one of the [[Nintendo 64]]'s launch titles, in 1994. The game's success caused the simulation and entertainment divisions of Paradigm to separate and focus on their respective products. Paradigm Entertainment continued to develop for Nintendo 64, but was acquired by [[Infogrames (France)|Infogrames]] in 2000. Then it was sold to [[THQ]] in 2006 and was ultimately closed on November 3, 2008.

Paradigm Entertainment was founded as a 3D computer graphics company named "Paradigm Simulations" in 1990, and primarily worked on realistic flight simulation technology for major space and aviation clients. The company started the development of Pilotwings 64, one of the Nintendo 64's launch titles, in 1994. The game's success caused the simulation and entertainment divisions of Paradigm to separate and focus on their respective products. Paradigm Entertainment continued to develop for Nintendo 64, but was acquired by Infogrames in 2000. Then it was sold to THQ in 2006 and was ultimately closed on November 3, 2008.
