| Cinemaware was a computer game developer and publisher that released several popular titles in the 1980s based on various movie themes. The company was closed down in 1991, but resurrected in 2000 as Cinemaware Inc., before being acquired by eGames in 2005.
Cinemaware, Inc. was formed in 2000 when Lars Fuhrken-Batista acquired the Cinemaware interactive entertainment software trademark and intellectual property previously owned by Cinemaware Corporation which had closed in 1991. The new company was headquartered in Burlingame, California, and lead by Mr. Batista and Sean Vesce. |
