Data Age was founded in 1982 and got off to a strong start, but it didn't last.
They initially had some interesting original titles but then made some very
bad high profile games. Interestingly, Journey
Escape was produced for the home market first and later licensed to arcades.
However, the game sold so poorly that the company could not pay the licensing
fees, and this contributed to their demise. They did release some good games
however, such as Frankenstein's
Monster, but it was too little too late. They also made a 3 ½ minute
promotional record
touting some of their games. This record was certainly one of the more interesting
gimmicks in its time, and is a collectible today.View Catalogs Produced By Data Age |
