Hi all, Hope you can help. I'm looking for the companies that make games for the itBox and the likes.

Mainly the quizzes, games such as Deal or No Deal, 1 vs 100, By Any Means.

Thanks for you help.

Much appreciated.

Hi Will

There is not one answer to this. I'd guess that the number of companies who have been involved in producing just the games that are currently available would easily run into double figures, even if some of them no longer exist in the form they did when the games were first released.

You also have to bear in mind that the companies who produce the actual cabinets are often responsible for some of the games content as well.

For specific games, such as those you mention, you should be able to get some clues from branding associated with each game - logos or company names often appear at the beginning and/or end of each game.

Here however are a few pointers as to where you might start looking:

Hi there,

Most games will have the companies name on the start up page or on the game menu screen.

If you're thinking of making SWP's and selling them to these companies, by aware that there are a lot of people doing this, and given current market conditions, you would be well advised to avoid spending time and money developing one unless you are very sure its a "top ten" game....

The biggest supplier is Games Warehouse. Try them first.

I've got an idea for a game called 'Quizmaster's Big Top 10'

This sounds like a Top 10 game to me. Who do I call to start making some dough?
