Lankhor was founded in 1988 as a result of the merger between Kyilkohr creations and Béatrice & Jean-Luc Langlois. Lankhor gained notoriety with productions such as Wanderer and Killdozers. Since 1994, the company has ceased to independently publish games and focuses on their development. During the 1980s-90s, there was a period of strong creativity and innovation with hits crowned with Tilt d'Or awards such as Mortville Manor, Maupiti Island and Vroom. From 1994, the company abandoned its publishing activities to devote itself solely to development. At the beginning of 1996, Daniel Macré having joined Jean-Luc Langlois in the company management, signed a development contract for Formula 1 games under FIA license with the British publisher Eidos Interactive. In 2000, Lankhor was developing video games for Microïds including Ski Park Manager which was released in 2002. The company however experienced a difficult financial situation which started at the end of the same year; this situation led the company to cancel its contract with Video System, a Japanese video game distribution house. At the end of 2001, Lankhor announced its closure which came to pass on October 3, 2002.
