Time Warner Interactive

Background : In 1994, Time Warner purchased Atari Games, renaming it to "Time Warner Interactive". In 1996, Time Warner sold its gaming division to Midway Games.

1st Logo (1994-1996)

Nickname : "The Time Warner Eye III"

Logo : We see a comet flying around the planet, then it moves over the sea to the horizon and makes there a light splash. The comet's trace on the sky becomes an outline of the Warner eye. After this, the 3D words "TIME" and "WARNER" slide from left and right, "INTERACTIVE" zooms out into a white box. A blue line then draws on top of the box and a "TM" symbol fades in to the right of the box.

Variant : The arcade version of Area 51 has a shorter version of the logo that starts with the comet hitting the planet.

FX/SFX : The comet flying, words sliding, drawing of the blue line.

Music/Sounds : A new-age fanfare.

Availability : Extremely rare. Seen on earlier copies of the arcade version of Area 51 (later copies plaster it with the Atari Games logo) and Return Fire for PlayStation.

Editor's Note : None.

4th Logo (1997)

Logo : There is the text part from Time Warner logo, words separated by blue line. There is a thin gray line below the picture and "PRESENTS" under it.

FX/SFX : None.

Music/Sounds : None.

Availability : Strange enough, appeared on a Japanese Sega Saturn game named Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru.

Editor's Note : None.
