Hasbro Interactive was a video game publisher and subsidiary of toy giant Hasbro. Their parent company owned the trademark to Night Trap.[1]
Founded in 1995, Hasbro Interactive was initially responsible for publishing video games based on its board game properties (which it had acquired when purchasing Parker Brothers in 1991), however became more prominent after purchasing MicroProse, Avalon Hill and the assets of the former Atari Corporation in 1998.
Growth was fast, with Hasbro Interactive at one point peaking as the third biggest software publisher in the world, however significant losses in 1999 would see Hasbro cut its video game division and eventually sell its assets to Infogrames in 2001. What was left of Hasbro Interactive became Infogrames Interactive.
Infogrames would subsequently use its newly acquired properties to rebrand itself as Atari, with this division becoming "Atari Interactive". Hasbro would buy back video game rights to many of its toy and game properties in 2005.
