What game company from your childhood do you remember with fondness? (reddthat.com)

I was thinking about how I remember Maxis fondly, and I got to wondering what other people's experiences were like!

Is your favorite still around? Are they still the same, or did they "change directions under new management?"

Microprose. Silent Service II and Special Forces were so good

C'mon can't leave X-COM out.

And Roller Coaster Tycoon! (although it was technically under Hasbro at that point)

That was the weird Atari/Infrogames time period right?

[-] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah. They got sold once around 1996 and then again to Hasbro in 1998 after they were failing IIRC. So they were kind of an amalgamation of a bunch of different companies
