== Early history ==
Brett Sperry and Louis Castle founded Westwood Studios in 1985.
The company's first projects consisted of contract work for companies like Epyx and Strategic Simulations, Inc. (SSI), porting 8-bit titles to 16-bit systems like Commodore Amiga and Atari ST. Proceeds from contract work allowed the company to expand into designing its own games in-house. Their first original title was ''Mars Saga'', a game developed for Electronic Arts and released in 1988. They laid the foundations for the real-time strategy genre with the release of real-time tactics game ''BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Revenge'', one of the more literal translations of the classic tabletop game BattleTech.
