BBC Multimedia

Background
BBC Multimedia was a video game division of the BBC founded in 1995 which publishes the video game versions of well-known BBC television programmes. In July 2002, the company launched a budget range called Favourites, consisting of pre-school games. In December 2002, BBC purchased bankrupt developer Runecraft and rebranded into Gamezlab. On 2 November 2004, Global Software Publishing announced acquiring exclusive distribution rights to BBC Multimedia's library. This move was done so BBC Worldwide could refocus BBC Multimedia as a video game licensor instead of being a publisher. Shortly before this, BBC Worldwide closed down Gamezlab and cancelled the upcoming Spooks video game. BBC Multimedia was closed in 2006 after sales declined in its boxed video game product business.
