Team Fortress is a series of multiplayer online first person shooter games by Valve Corporation.
Video Games[]
The original Team Fortress is actually a mod for Quake created by Robin "Bro" Walker, John "Jojie" Cook and Ian "Scuba" Caughley (aka "Team Fortress Software") and released on August 24th, 1996 for free, so Valve doesn't own its rights and it isn't technically considered an official release in the series.
After the development team was hired by Valve, they released two official Team Fortress titles:
- Team Fortress Classic (April 7th, 1999) for PC. Originally a mod for Half-Life, a stand-alone version was released in 2003 with Valve's Steam system.
- Team Fortress 2 (October 9th, 2007), for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Originally released within The Orange Box, it was re-released for PC on April 4th, 2008 as a standalone game.
Many other unofficial Team Fortress mods were released, including the Half-Life 2 mod Fortress Forever.
Comics[]
A number of comics based on Team Fortress 2 have been released.
