GT Interactive

Founded in 1993 as a division of GoodTimes Home Video, the publisher expanded rapidly by securing high-profile software agreements. The company established a major retail footprint by bringing diverse arcade and action properties to home systems. In 1996, the company published the light-gun shooter Area 51 and compiled classic titles in Arcade's Greatest Hits Atari Collection 1.

The following year, the publisher expanded its catalog with Arcade's Greatest Hits Atari Collection (1997), the multiplayer basketball title NBA Hang Time (1997), and the racing game Off Road Challenge (1997). During this period, the company also capitalized on major intellectual properties, releasing the first-person shooter Duke Nukem 64 (1997) and the third-person spin-off Duke Nukem Zero Hour (1997) for the Nintendo 64. These releases solidified the publisher's retail presence and diverse software catalog during a period of rapid industry growth.
