The Mary-Kate and Ashley games are a series of video games released between 1999 and 2002 that feature Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in various scenarios such as trying to solve crimes, caring for horses, or freeing a shopping mall from a curse.[1] The games were released by Acclaim Entertainment on several different game systems such as the Game Boy Color and first PlayStation console.[2]

In 2004, the Olsens filed a suit against Acclaim Entertainment over claims that the company had not paid them a settlement of about $178,000, which was from an earlier case concerning royalties that had not been paid towards the Olsens.[3]
