Amok Entertainment
Amok Entertainment is a
publisher of
video and
computer games based in
New York. Its most well-known games include
Bubble Fun,
Tilt, and
Bird Flu.
Amok Entertainment began publishing games on the
Commodore 64 in
1988 when the company was founded in
Aachen. In
2001 the company incorporated in the
United States and moved its headquarters to
New York City where it specialized in online
Flash games.
Amok Entertainment's Commodore 64 games
Turn It and
Pot Panic were distributed by
Kingsoft GmbH, which was aquired by
Electronic Arts in 1995.
In 1989 Amok Entertainment began to publish
Sex'n'Crime, the first computer magazine published on
floppy disc instead of paper. Despite its name, it had nothing to do with sex. The magazine reported about news from the Commodore 64 hardware and software scene.
Sex'n'Crime became so popular among Commodore 64 users in Europe during the 1990s, that it was eventually distributed on newsstands by
CP Verlag, a subsidiary of
Gong Verlag, Germany's largest magazine publishing house. At the height of its popularity, Sex'n'Crime reached over half a million Commodore 64 users worldwide each month.
Sex'n'Crime spawned an avalanche of hundreds of computer scene magazine clones. Its influence among european computer enthusiasts can still be felt today, because the word
graphician, first used in Sex'n'Crime, is still in use in the
demo scene and
warez scene today.
