- Faster Than Light (software publisher)
:"For the US company, see FTL Games"Faster Than Light (FTL) was a software publishing label established by UK video game publisher Gargoyle Games. The aim was for FTL to publish arcade-style games, while Gargoyle would concentrate on its core business of text adventure games.
Note that this label should not be confused with FTL Games, the American video game publisher responsible for hits including "", "Oids" and "Dungeon Master".
