Troika Games was a US-based video game developer studio founded by three disgruntled
Interplay Entertainment employees in 1997. The word "troika" is
Russian for "
three of a kind" and refers to the three co-founders: Tim Cain, Leonard Boyarsky, and Jason D. Anderson — the lead designer, artist, and coder on
Fallout 2, respectively, who simultaneously left Interplay during its production over a conflict with the studio management. The studio closed in 2005, after releasing an ironic total of three games, all of which have since become
cult classics of the
Western RPG genre.
