7th Level was a video games development company based in Dallas, Texas and founded in 1993.[1] The company was most famous for developing the three Monty Python games (with the aid of Python member Terry Gilliam), G-Nome (1997) — a MechWarrior-style game, for publishing Helicops (1997) — an anime-inspired arcade-style aerial combat game, and for Tracer — a game of hacking distributed computer systems for cash using a virtual avatar in the design of Neuromancer, Shadowrun, or Snowcrash styled virtual worlds.
7th Level merged with Pulse Entertainment on November 17, 1997 to create P7 Solutions — an integrated solutions company.[2] The distribution rights for the three Monty Python games were acquired by Panasonic Interactive Media the next day,[3] ending 7th Level's involvement with game development and publishing.
