Perfect Entertainment
British video game developer
Perfect Entertainment was an independent British computer game developer. It began in 1991 as Teeny Weeny Games headed by Angela Sutherland but changed names when merging exclusively with Gregg Barnett's Perfect 10 Productions, a company previously known as Beam Software (UK).
History
Perfect Entertainment is best known for its popular point-and-click adventure games Discworld, Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!? and Discworld Noir, which are based on the Terry Pratchett novel series Discworld.
The company made its origins in 1990 when Gregg Barnett founded a British division of Beam Software, called Beam Europe, or Beam Software UK, which was sold to Barnett and renamed to Perfect 10 Productions, and Angela Sutherland worked at Perfect 10 before leaving to form Teeny Weeny Games in 1991, mainly for original concepts and ports, and its name was taken from a lullaby song.
Teeny Weeny Games was the initial funding source of Perfect Entertainment's speculative product demo of Discworld. In 1995, Teeny Weeny Games merged with Perfect 10 Productions to form Perfect Entertainment. Perfect Entertainment produced the majority of Psygnosis games ported to the Sega Saturn, since Sony, owner of Psygnosis, wasn't willing to fund games for a rival console. In 1995, they acquired Tantalus Entertainment some time after its founding.
Perfect Entertainment's Manchester offices were destroyed in the 1996 IRA bombing.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Perfect Entertainment” as british video game developer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as british video game developer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3375309. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1991, 1990, 1995 and 1996.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
