HISTORY
Click! began operations in January 1993 when CO-founders Guy
Bendov and Chanan Greenberg established the Company in order to
provide high-end multimedia services to the newly forming local
market. After developing an interactive marketing system for the
Israeli Military Industry and a large scale Computer Based
Training (CBT) program for Scitex, Click! established itself as
one of the leading multimedia companies in Israel. In mid-1993,
the Company expanded its activities to develop interactive
multimedia titles. Click! developed for Apple's MAC Expo in
Israel a CD-ROM and Kiosk covering new products and introducing
all companies that participated in the show. This CD-ROM lead to
a long-term relationship with Pixel Multimedia Ltd. who
contracted Click! to work on more than half of the projects
initiated in 1994 at Pixel.
During 1994, the Company expanded and improved its IM development
capacity.
Three new IM projects were conceptualized and developed in a
combination of self-initiated/self-funded titles and
work-for-hire development contracts. These contracts included the
NFL title (co-developed with Pixel), A Disciple's Diary, (which
was developed entirely in-house at Click! for Hed-Arzi Multimedia
and Pixel and is being distributed by Nelson-Word Interactive in
the US), and the ACCS project (for IBM and NME which has been
installed in Germany, Austria and Switzerland). In 1995 Click!
developed 5 new IM projects for CD-ROM and Internet and at the
end of the year initiated 2 projects together with Bitan United
Multimedia, which are also partially self financed and owned by
Click!.
In 1996 Click! developed the award winning CD-ROM "Lights Out
3D", awarded "Best Puzzle Game of the Year" by Games Magazine.
The same year Click! initiated together with Values Vivid
Productions a sci-fi Quest called "Freeport". This game will be
developed as an Internet experience in 1997. During Q4 1996
Click! was contracted, again, by Tiger Electronics to develop two
new CD-ROM titles called "Dear E Diary" and "Henry". Click! was
also contracted by The Learning Company (formerly Softkey
International - one of the largest Software publishers in the
world which includes the learning company, MECC, Softkey and
Compton's) to develop an Internet environment that will be
installed on all of their titles throughout 1997. In December
1996 Click! initiated its own Internet Gaming environment, called
"ClickToPlay", that will introduce classic games and original
content.
In 1998 Click developed the Israeli air force official 50th
anniversary CD ROM which is being distributed by Electronic arts.
The same year Click developed an Online multi player virtual
casino using credit card transactions called 3WCasino.com. |
