GameTek

GameTek was a computer game and video game publisher based out of North Miami Beach, Florida well known for publishing video game adaptations for game shows during the early 1990s. GameTek was a trade name for IJE, the owner of electronic publishing rights to Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune. Originally IJE licensed these titles to ShareData of Chandler, Arizona; but when IJE saw ShareData's success with the titles, IJE decided to publish the titles themselves and GameTek was born.

After establishing distribution for the game show titles, GameTek branched out by licensing European titles for the North American market including Frontier: Elite II and The Humans.

GameTek titles include:

GameTek filed for bankruptcy in 1997 and closed its doors in July 1998. Some of the company's assets were acquired by Take 2 Interactive in 1997.

They also produced Robotech: Crystal Dreams for the Nintendo 64. It was never released and was thought to be the reason for the closure.
