IEntertainment Network (IENT, stylized as iEntertainment Network and formerly known as Interactive Magic, iMagic, and iMagiconline) is an American video game company founded by Bill Stealey, the co-founder and former CEO of MicroProse Software, in 1995.[2] It is chiefly a developer and publisher of simulation computer games.
The company was noted for hiring many industry outsiders, i.e. skilled software engineers with no prior experience in making games.[3] Interactive Magic went public in 1998 and was sold to a venture capitalist in 1999, when Bill Stealey left the company; Stealey returned in the early 2000s.
