Malibu Interactive originally began as Acme Interactive, Inc., started by Cinemaware founder Bob Jacob [1] and incorporated on February 21, 1991. [2] In 1992, Acme Interactive merged with Malibu Graphics Publishing Group to form Malibu Comics Entertainment, Inc. [3], of which Malibu Interactive was a division.
A number of employees were recruited from Ocean Software and the Derby area (home of Core Design) in the UK. [4] Malibu Interactive also had operations there. [5]
Former Malibu Interactive employees Joel Jewett, Mick West, and Chris Ward started Neversoft (Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero). [6] John Brandwood, Mike Lamb, and Jeff Godfrey started Left Field Productions. [7] Clockwork Tortoise was also started by a group from Malibu Interactive, while Paradox Development/Midway Studios - Los Angeles was established by former Malibu Comics CEO/CFO Christine Hsu. [8]
Malibu Comics Entertainment was acquired by Marvel Entertainment Group in 1994 [9], and Malibu Interactive was acquired by Gametek [10] [11] [12], becoming its Padded Cell Studios division. It appears (though it has not been confirmed) the group was acquired yet again by Interplay, becoming V.R.T.O., Inc., incorporated on October 16, 1997. Michael Knauer was the president. [13]
