Hasbro Interactive, Inc. is a leading all-family interactive games publisher, formed in 1995 to bring to life on the computer the deep library of toy and board games of parent company, Hasbro, Inc. (AMEX:HAS). Hasbro Interactive has expanded its charter to include original and licensed games for the PC, the PlayStation® and Nintendo® 64 game consoles and for multi-player gaming over the Internet. Headquartered in Beverly, Massachusetts, Hasbro Interactive has offices in the U.K., France, Germany, Australia, Japan and Canada.
Since 1995 Hasbro Interactive has climbed the ranks of the interactive entertainment industry and in less than three years has become the fourth largest publisher, based on PC Data unit sales.
