Fishtank Interactive

Background
Fishtank Interactive was a subsidiary of Ravensburger Interactive Media GmbH, a video game subsidiary of the puzzle company Ravensburger. It was founded in 2000 to publish more mature titles than the mostly educational game library of its parent company, without sullying its reputation. Its titles were criticized for low production values highlighted by the lack of important features like multi-player playability. Fishtank was sold alongside Ravensburger Interactive to JoWooD Productions in 2002.

Logo: On a black background, we see a jagged window with a lake bottom inside. A fish swims near us and rams his face into the screen. He says "Ouch!" and turns while he also says "Whoa!". The scene then morphs into a white picture with a different fish and some bubbles. The text "fishtank inteRactive" in an ugly font ripples in under the logo.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Just the sounds of the fish and bubbles.

Availability: Rare. Seen on games like S.W.I.N.E.
