Top 20 Computer Entertainment Software Titles
Rank 13	Title Millennium Game Pack Gold

"We're very proud of this accomplishment.", stated Antidote President, Andrew Sturgeon. While we're certainly fans of the more 'hardcore' products ourselves, we also understand that there is a huge segment of the interactive entertainment software market who are looking for titles which are targeted at a wider consumer audience, and deliver quality, at a lower price point. Those are the driving factors behind the products which we strive to develop.

Antidote is a small software development studio located in Moncton NB, a small city about as far as you can get from the 'heart' of the games industry in California, without falling off the edge the continent.

"We don't think geography has been a barrier", notes Antidote's CEO, George Donovan. "In fact I think our displacement from the 'core' of the industry allows us to have a fresh perspective, and focus on what's really important to consumers, delivering strong value for their dollar, rather than being caught up in the hyperbole and glitz surrounding the videogame market. We deliver high quality games, within an exceptionally short time frame, by common industry standards. We see a typical product development cycle of about 4-5 months maximum. This allows us to bring more products to market within a given time frame, and produce software considerably less expensively than a majority of our competitors."
