Abandonware DOS title

GameTek

Game company profile: GameTek

GameTek was a company that specialized in creating and publishing video games, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s. They were known for producing games across various platforms. GameTek was responsible for developing and releasing a wide range of titles, spanning different genres such as puzzle games, sports simulations, and trivia games.

One of GameTek's most notable contributions to the gaming industry was its adaptation of popular game shows into video game format. They secured licenses for iconic television game shows like "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy!", creating video game versions that allowed players to experience the excitement of these shows from the comfort of their own homes.

Despite their success with licensed game show adaptations, GameTek faced financial difficulties in the mid-1990s and eventually filed for bankruptcy in 1997. Following the bankruptcy, the rights to many of their games were acquired by other companies, allowing some of their popular titles to continue being available to gamers. Though GameTek is no longer active, its legacy lives on through the fond memories players have of its games, especially those based on beloved game shows.
