About

Fox Interactive was a video game publisher known for adapting 20th Century Fox properties into interactive media. During the mid-1990s, the company published titles such as the platformer The Pagemaster and the side-scrolling beat 'em up The Tick. They achieved major commercial success with the 1996 release of Die Hard Trilogy.
Established as an operating division of Fox Filmed Entertainment, the publisher utilized its parent company's intellectual properties to secure a foothold in the rapidly expanding 16-bit and 32-bit console markets. The 1994 release of The Pagemaster, developed for platforms including the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis, translated the fantasy film's literary worlds into side-scrolling levels. That same year, the publisher targeted television audiences by releasing The Tick, a beat 'em up based on the animated superhero series, which featured hand-drawn sprites reflecting the show's distinct art style.
Transitioning into the 32-bit era, the publisher collaborated with Probe Entertainment to develop Die Hard Trilogy in 1996. This release integrated three distinct genres—third-person action, light-gun shooting, and driving—to adapt the first three films of the action franchise. The game's critical and commercial reception led to its inclusion in Sony's PlayStation Greatest Hits and Die Hard Trilogy [Platinum] ranges, cementing the publisher's strategy of leveraging cinematic brands into multi-genre gaming experiences before the company was eventually acquired by Vivendi Universal Games.
