Founding
The company was founded in 1988 as "New Frontier", initially programming games for ZX Spectrum, Amstrad and MSX computer systems. The company at first met with only modest success. In 1992, the company changed its name to Bit Managers and began to make games for Nintendo consoles (especially for Game Boy). It focused on creating innovative games based on comic characters such as Asterix, The Smurfs, or Tintin for a client company, Infogrames.
In 1997, Bit Managers was chosen by Acclaim Entertainment to develop the Turok series for Game Boy. In 1998, the year of the launch of Game Boy Color, Bit Managers was the first third-party developer to finish two Game Boy Color titles (Turok II and Sylvester & Tweety).
