History

Fox Interactive was formed in December 1994 (with the release of The Pagemaster: The Video Game) and was an operating unit of Fox Filmed Entertainment, a News Corporation company. The company published, developed and produced games mainly for titles based on 20th Century Fox film and movie properties.

Their first computer game was The Tick, based on a superhero cartoon character. Fox Interactive released both arcade games, Die Hard Arcade and The Simpsons Bowling. The company became most well known for its Croc, Aliens Vs. Predator, Die Hard and Charmed games.

In March 2003, Fox Interactive was acquired by Vivendi Universal Games. In 2006, Fox Interactive went out of business. New games based on 20th Century Fox properties are now published by various publishers under license from 20th Century Fox
