About

DTP Entertainment was a German video game company that published and developed a diverse portfolio of titles during the 2000s. The company was responsible for casual and simulation games such as Schach, Mahjong DS, Mr. Slime Jr, My Pet Hotel 2, and My Pet Kitten. They also published entries in established franchises like Crash Time, Winter Sports, and Summer Challenge, alongside standalone releases like Summer Athletics 2009, Crazy Machines 2, and Musiic Party: Rock the House.
Founded in Hamburg in 1995, the publisher strategically expanded its distribution network during the late 2000s by targeting the rapidly growing market for Nintendo DS and Wii players. This era saw the release of localized casual titles like Schach and Mahjong DS, alongside pet simulations such as My Pet Hotel 2 and My Pet Kitten, which capitalized on the virtual pet phenomenon. For younger audiences, the company also distributed the physics-based platformer Mr. Slime Jr.
The company's sports and racing lineup formed a core pillar of its commercial strategy. Through the Crash Time franchise, players experienced high-speed highway pursuits, while the Winter Sports and Summer Challenge series offered multi-discipline athletic simulations. Releases like Summer Athletics 2009 and the rhythm-based Musiic Party: Rock the House utilized the motion-control capabilities of contemporary consoles to appeal to multiplayer audiences. Additionally, the company supported PC and console puzzle enthusiasts by publishing Crazy Machines 2, a highly interactive physics-based brainteaser. Despite the commercial reach of these diverse releases, severe financial difficulties led the company to file for insolvency in 2012, bringing an end to its operations.
