History

In 1996 the Argentine Ricardo "riq" Quesada started developing the game, and released it under the GNU GPL-2-0-only. He stopped working on it for a few years but brought the project back to life in early 2000. Some developers, graphic artists and translators joined the project located at SourceForge's servers and made it a success.

TEG was an early supporter of the FOSS multiplayer client-server system GGZ Gaming Zone.[1][2]

Around 2014 the project moved from Sourceforge to GitHub.[3]
