In 1994, Time Warner purchased
Atari Games (
Atari Corporation's former arcade gaming unit, which spun off from the parent company in 1984), renaming it to
Time Warner Interactive. Its
Tengen subsidiary was also folded into the unit, as well as the assets of an earlier company with the same name,
Time Warner Interactive Group. The company also held operations in Europe and Japan. In 1996, the company was dissolved by Time Warner, with the company selling the US division's assets to
Midway Games; as a result, the arcade unit went back to the
Atari Games name. The European division was merged with
Warner Interactive and gained the latter's name before being sold to
GT Interactive Software the following year, while the Japanese unit ceased operations after the publication of
Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru.
