Ah, licensed games… some maligned, others treasured. The games industry has created memorable games around our favorite sports leagues, pro wrestlers, toys, cartoon characters, comics, and manga for decades. We all know them, we all play them, and sometimes we even love them. Now, insider Mark Flitman reveals the untold stories behind golden age licensing powerhouses: Acclaim, Midway, Konami, and more.
In It’s Not All Fun and Games, get a backstage pass to the creation of Maximum Carnage, NFL Blitz, TMNT and The Simpsons games, WWF Royal Rumble and RAW, Tiny Toons, Dragon Ball, and a host of other household names. Learn about the lost Marvel 2099 game for N64, and peek behind the curtain of the toy industry with a glimpse into Hasbro’s proprietary (and lucrative) handheld game creations and their My Little Pony franchise.
