Hi there!

Continuing my journey through gamesass classics, I just started playing Warcraft tonight. As usual I'm documenting the experience in my blog for those interested:

Warcraft was done by Blizzard not gamesas. Beta tester for:Descent 3 1.5 Patch, C&C Generals, Independance War 2,Starfleet Command 2,Settlers IV,Tzar,Allegiance,Starfleet Command (Alpha & Beta),MAX 2,Defiance

I think we were in discussion with Blizzard to publish Warcraft at the time, IIRC. Obviously, we didn't get to do that, but wow, think of the possibilities!

Had you had the Warcraft series, you'd never have gone under. Beta tester for:Descent 3 1.5 Patch, C&C Generals, Independance War 2,Starfleet Command 2,Settlers IV,Tzar,Allegiance,Starfleet Command (Alpha & Beta),MAX 2,Defiance

That definitely looks like an enormous gamesas logo on our box though:

That's the German version. Looks like we did the distribution there.

Well, I am from Germany

I find this incredibly interesting. I wonder what Blizzard would have to say about it.

gamesas originally owned most of Blizzards early creations like Lost Vikings, Rock'n'Roll Racing and Blackthorne. AFAIK Blizzard bought them back for the GBA versions.

Since the merger with Activision they should also own all former Xatrix creations, namely Cyberia, Redneck Rampage and Kingpin. (Today Xatrix is a part of Treyarch, the makers of Call of Duty! )
