Transmission Games: History and Key Facts

Transmission Games (originally known as IR Gurus) was an Australian video game developer that specialised in sports and action games. Transmission Games was established as IR Gurus Pty Ltd in 1996 by Craig Laughton, Andrew Niere, and Ian Cunliffe with the motto "Game Play is Everything". The company name was changed in February 2008 to Transmission Games and was later purchased by a third-party investor. The company was subsequently closed some 18 months later by the new owner.

Transmission Games developed many games, including Ashes Cricket 2009 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC; Heatseeker for the PlayStation 2, Wii, and PSP; Heroes of the Pacific for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC; the AFL Premiership series for the PlayStation 2; and The Saddle Club – Willowbrook Stables.

The company was based in Melbourne, Australia, and its last games released were Ashes Cricket 2009 (which was published by Codemasters), Heatseeker, AFL Premiership 2007, and Brian Lara Pressure Play.
