Home Box Office and Warner Music Group, with $5 million in startup money.[2] The company was a blend of talent from the entertainment and programming industries.[3]
History
Sim City' and 'Twin Peaks.'"[2] After Nash founded Inscape in 1994, the group worked with him again to create Inscape's first game in 1995, Bad Day on the Midway, a game CD-ROM Today called "One of the Top Ten Discs of All Time".[1] Bad Day on the Midway was something of a sequel to Freak Show, with both games taking place at traveling carnival.[1]
Inscape's next game, Devo Presents: Adventures of the Smart Patrol and Where's Waldo?: Exploring Geography.[4]
In February 1997, it was announced that Inscape would be acquired by and become a division of
Inscape, because we wanted to focus on multimedia's capability to transport us to compelling inner landscapes.[7]
Graphix Zone itself ceased operations in November 1997.[8]
