The company was founded in 1993 by Ralph Stock. Sixteen Tons Entertainment became known through the Emergency series and Mad TV.
History
Sixteen Tons Entertainment was originally a brand label of the Tübingen company Promotion Software. In the 1990s, advertising adventures were developed in the studio, as well as indirect successors to the strategy game Mad TV (Caribbean Disaster, Mad News) and Hurra Germany, a game for the 1994 federal election.
In 1998, Emergency was released, the first in a series of real-time strategy games. Further successors to the game series followed until 2017, for the PC and mobile platforms. In 2018, Emergency HQ, the first free-to-play game for the series, was released.
Between 2004 and 2009, board game conversions to games by Reiner Knizia (Keltis, Simply Genial) and educational software for children to the Willi-wills-wissen television series followed.
In 2009, a second studio was founded in Babelsberg near Potsdam. The Potsdam studio moved to Berlin in 2017.
On January 15, 2020, it was announced that Sixteen Tons Entertainment was taken over by Phoenix Games. Stock remained the studio manager until August 2024, when he stepped down and was replaced by the former head of product and design for ZeptoLab, Jan Richter.
