Crawfish Interactive
Background
Crawfish Interactive was founded in 1997 and developed games exclusively for Game Boy platforms. In Summer 2002, the publishers were unsure in Game Boy Advance and titles developed by Crawfish Interactive found no interest. As a result, the studio lacked money and was closed in November 2002. Most of the developers joined newly-founded Climax Handheld.
Logo (14 July 1998-19 November 2004)
Visuals:: Against a black background, there is a smiling crawfish along with a couple of bubbles inside a blue water rectangular box with a red outline around it. Under it are the words, "CRAWFISH interactive" with "CRAWFISH" in a yellow-green gradient color with a red outline and "interactive" under it.
Variants:
- On GBC games, the border is usually colored yellow and the bubbles are not there.
- On it's early titles such as WWF War Zone and Bust-A-Move 3 for Game Boy and some games such as Driver and Cruis'n Exotica for GBC, the company name is over the crawfish and the rectangular box is shortened. On the latter titles, the logo is in the sepia color.
- On Bust-A-Move 4 for GBC, the background is blue.
- On some GBA titles such as Nicktoons Racing and Robot Wars: Advanced Destruction, the logo is against the white background with the bubbles intact minus the rectangular box. Plus, the crawfish is larger and the text is smaller.
- On Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams for GBC, the logo is extended to have the words, "CONVERTED BY" over the company name.
- On Ecks vs. Server for GBA, the word, "interactive" is not there.
- On Ecks vs. Sever II: Ballistic for GBA, only the text is there against a blue background and there is no crawfish.
Technique: A still graphic.
Audio: None. Sometimes, the game's opening theme is heard.
Availability: Seen on a majority of Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance titles. Several games that remained unfinished at the moment of the Crawfish demise, were completed by other studios and released into 2003.
