Games
- Earthworm Jim (1994)
- Earthworm Jim 2 (1995)
- MDK (1997)
- Wild 9 (1998), an action game for the Sony PlayStation. This game featured a weapon called the Rig, which allowed the main character, Wex Major, to attack his enemies in many sadistic ways. Sony Japan licensed the game from Interplay so they could release it themselves in Japan.
- R/C Stunt Copter (1999), a game that made the PlayStation controller act just like a dual stick remote control helicopter transmitter. This game was bought from Interplay by Midway, then it was bought from Midway by Titus. Titus then bought Interplay as well.
- Messiah (2000), a game featuring the hook of "possession" and a new real-time tessellation video game engine.
- Sacrifice (2000), Shiny's first online multiplayer game.
- Enter the Matrix (2003) returned Perry to licensing, based on the Matrix movie franchise. The movies' directors made around 1 hour of original Matrix footage just for the game. The game was commercially successful, selling an estimated 5 million copies. Reviewers were not too pleased, however, with the game's lack of polish and bugs.
- The Matrix: Path of Neo (2005) shipped by Atari, again based on the Matrix movie franchise, this time focusing on the lead character from the movies. It is generally considered to be better than Enter the Matrix and is viewed as something of an "apology" to fans who felt cheated by not being able to actually control Neo at all during Enter the Matrix.
- The Golden Compass (2007), based on the film of the same name.

Famous quotes containing the word games:
“In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
“As long as lightly all their livelong sessions,
Like a yardful of schoolboys out at recess
Before their plays and games were organized,
They yelling mix tag, hide-and-seek, hopscotch,
And leapfrog in each other’s way all’s well.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
