Epyx
open-in-new
<p>Epyx, Inc. was a <a href="/facts/Video_game_developer/6gbHyvDu">video game developer</a> and <a href="/facts/Video_game_publisher/VIhF1r4J">video game publisher</a> active in the late 1970s and 1980s. The company was founded in 1978 as Automated Simulations by Jim Connelley and <a href="/facts/Jon_Freeman_(game_designer)/H14IIULJ">Jon Freeman</a>, publishing a series of tactical combat games. The Epyx brand was introduced when the company branched out to a series of more action-oriented titles. In 1983, as these types of games now represented the majority of their product line, the company was renamed to match. Epyx published a long series of games through the 1980s. The company's assets are currently owned by Bridgestone Multimedia Group Global. </p>
