Indie Built, Inc. was a Salt Lake City, Utah based computer game developer founded in 1983 by Bruce Carver as Access Software in 1982.[1] They are popular for creating the golfing Links series and also for creating the video game detective series based on the character Tex Murphy. Access Software was acquired by Microsoft in 1999[2], became part of Microsoft Game Studios and was renamed to "Salt Lake Games Studio". In 2003 it was renamed again to "Indie Games". In October 2004, Microsoft sold the development studio to Take-Two Interactive (T2) and it took on the name Indie Built.[3] They became part of T2's 2K Games/2K Sports brand. Indie shipped Amped 3 for the launch of Xbox 360 and worked on Top Spin 2 for Xbox 360 developed by Power and Magic. Take 2 suddenly closed Indie Built on April 28, 2006 without publicly stating any reasons for the closure.[4]
