With his wife Ugur Atabek, and business partner Jim Thomas, Atabek formed Mindcraft Software to publish his next game, The Magic Candle.[2] By 1993 the company was publishing six titles a year and had about 30 employees.[3] The company's games were primarily developed for DOS systems, but they also developed games for Apple II, Commodore 64, and Amiga computers.
