Perfect Entertainment was a British computer game producer, which ceased production in 1999[1]. It was created in 1994 as a result of a name change from Perfect 10 Productions, a company previously known as Beam Software (UK) [2] [3].

Perfect Entertainment is notable for its popular point-and-click adventure games Discworld, Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!?, and Discworld Noir, which are based on the Terry Pratchett novels. Teeny Weeny Games was the initial funding source of Perfect Entertainment's speculative product demo of Discworld. Teeny Weeny Games produced the majority of Psygnosis games ported to the Sega Saturn, since Sony (who owned Psygnosis at that time) wasn't willing to fund games for a rival console.

The assets, staff and risks of Perfect Entertainment were absorbed into Teeny Weeny Games in 1999 on the completion of the Discworld trilogy of games. Partly due to a costly and protracted legal dispute with Psygnosis over unpaid royalties and fees which were eventually settled out of court and partly due to arguments at board level, it was decided to scale the company down to allow unhappy stakeholders to leave. Tantalus in Melbourne Australia was sold back to it's original directors. In early 2000 Teeny Weeny Games was contracted by 20th Century Fox to supply "The Worlds Scariest Car Chases" on a $3'600'000 contract, a game already under development for over a year. The producer of this project and various other staff bought a majority shareholding and took over the company. Teeny Weeny Games closed a year later.[citation needed]
