They also developed the FX chip for Nintendo.

Who is going to buy them. Its a toss up betwee microsoft and EA for me.

In addition to some cool games in the Commodore/Amiga/Atari ST era, Jez and the gang also made the fairly recent Powerdrome, a very solid futuristic racer.

A shame.

I don't really feel sorry for them. It takes pretty bad management to piss away all the money that they almost certainly got from a high-profile licensed game like Harry Potter.

Well like the article said, you need more than one best-seller. All the top developers have at least 3 games they know would get attention.

The first Croc was a cute game.

I seem to remember the second Croc pimping Lifesavers gummis super-hard, to the point where you had to jump on them to bounce to high places. Poor little Croc had become a soulless, corporate bitch.

They made the PS1 Harry Potters, which obviously weren't top sellers because of the platform. They were well received by critics, though. They also did the PS1 Aladdin game which was likewise good, but too late.

Like Zool, the chupa-chup selling Ninja?

Oh yeah, speaking of Ninjas, they made I-Ninja, which I liked quite a bit. Also Buck Bumble was pretty cool. They've really made alot of games that I enjoyed. Seeing them put out trash like SWAT:GST was really sad.
