Cyberlore Studios, Inc. was founded in 1992 by Lester Humphreys, Herb Perez and Ken Grey. The first project under the Cyberlore banner was an Advanced Dungeons and Dragons game, Al-Qadim: The Genie's Curse, which was published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. (SSI). The game required the development of an entirely new engine for overhead-perspective, real-time play. By adding the necessary staff, the company completed "Genie" in fourteen months. Released to excellent reviews, the game has since been translated into four languages.

Cyberlore and SSI teamed up again with Entomorph: Plague of the Darkfall. Using an updated version of the "Genie" engine, this game completed for the PC in late September 1995, and was one of the first Windows 95 games on the market. The Macintosh version followed in November 1995.

In April of '96 Cyberlore completed WarCraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal, which was an expansion to 's highly successful WarCraft II: Tides of Darkness.  It was published by Blizzard Entertainment and was welcomed by glowing reviews,  exceeded sales expectations and easily earned its place in the elite pantheon of WarCraft's quality products.

In August '97 Cyberlore developed Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Price of Loyalty expansion for New World Computing. It immediately joined the top ten best-selling games. Critics loved this turn-based strategy war game calling it "addictive," and with Computer Gaming World giving it a five star review. Not only did this set capture the look and feel of the original game, it added several new play-enhancing features.

Spring of '98 saw the release of Deadlock II:Shrine Wars, published by Accolade. A sequel to one of 1996's best-selling, turn-based strategy games, Deadlock 2 takes the original game to the next level with new units, buildings, technologies and an all-new interface. It is also be the first application of our phonetic editing system, used to create the game's animated alien characters.

Also in the spring of '98 Cyberlore announced the development of its sixth computer game title - Majesty™. A "fantasy kingdom sim". Majesty was released at the end of March in 2000. Published by Hasbro Interactive, Majesty has garnered high praise from press and gamers alike. Cyberlore is currently finishing up an expansion for Majesty entitled "The Northern Expansion" that is due out Q3 2000 as well as other projects that have not yet been officially announced.
