Destineer teams up with CIA
Video game developer and publisher Destineer today announced it has signed a strategic development agreement with In-Q-Tel, a private venture group funded by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Destineer develops and publishes 3-D games for personal computers and video game consoles. Its first internally-developed game, Close Combat: First to Fight, was created with the help of more than 40 active-duty United States Marines and is based on their recent combat experiences.

?We create highly realistic, action-oriented training simulations that provide unique gaming experiences,? said Destineer president, Peter Tamte. ?Our partnership with In-Q-Tel will enhance our technology and expand the work we do with the federal government.?

?Destineer?s technology offers unique gaming simulation capabilities,? said Gilman Louie, president and CEO of In-Q-Tel. ?In-Q-Tel is very pleased with its partnership with Destineer and their promise of significant developments in simulation training that will enhance security readiness for the Intelligence Community.?
