| | Majesco Entertainment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The publisher has reached financial trouble lately with their major games, such as Psychonauts, which sold poorly despite achieving several awards and critical acclaim, and Advent Rising, which was released under intense hype only to be panned by critics for being rife with technical issues and poor gameplay implementation in general. | | | In January 2006 the company's financial situation was so bad that it had to cancel two games it was going to publish: Demonik, developed by Terminal Reality, and Taxi Driver, a sequel to the movie. | | | Majesco Entertainment is a video game developer founded in 1986. |

| | Slashdot Why Majesco Fell |
| | And, inexplicably, Majesco has decided to move forward with the release of a game based on 'Jaws' itself - perhaps as a last hurrah, perhaps because it couldn't find a buyer and the game was essentially complete. | | | CNN Money's Game Over column today takes a look at some of the reasons Majesco has bowed out of the majors of game publishing. | | | If Majesco had focused on properly promoting and advertising these games it could have been a different story. |

| | Majesco: Game Over? [Update: No] - Idle Forums |
| | Majesco took on a number of games that were too 'out there' for other publishers to touch; if they close up shop, what does this say about the future of innovative games in today's market? | | | If you're filling me with hope and Majesco is really going under, I may have to track you down and remove your intestines through your eye socket using nothing but a pair of unwashed pantyhose. | | | Zach Smith from Majesco apparently denied this on the IGN boards, the IGN boards being the place where it looks like this story originated. |

| | The company's name has for years been associated with bargain-quality, low level products, and they have slapped their name on half of the worst PC and Console games ever shipped, and they seem to wonder why they're struggling. | | | The problem is that the gaming community (particularly the console community) screams that there's no innovation, yet run to the next Halo or Madden title and ignore the few innovative ones that do come out. | | | But considering all the other crap that Majesco has put out, the success of that title would have only slowed the bleeding I think. |

| | More on Majesco's fall from grace - Joystiq |
| | The developer of Psychonauts *is* talented, and they had a hard time finding a publisher for their quirky game, which is why they ended up at budget house Majesco. | | | The CNN article points out that Midway, Atari and Acclaim have all been to the brink of bankruptcy and back, Majesco may still make it through. | | | Poster #1 -- Majesco isn't "talented," they're just a publisher. |
