基本介紹
LJN玩具有限公司是由傑克-弗雷曼於1970年於紐約創建的有限公司,而後他又陸續成立了其它的玩具公司,其中包括著名的THQ和Jakks Pacific公司,而LJN公司的名字來源於其大股東里維斯-J-諾曼(Lewis J. Norman)的首字母拼寫而成。
發展歷程
MCA時代
1985年,當時著名的遊戲公司MCA以6000w美元左右的價格收購了LJN公司,並使LJN於1986年開始為任天堂NES主機開發電視遊戲,這是LJN第一次涉足視頻遊戲領域。
1988年,LJN從“ Fassi family”手中收購了一家義大利玩具公司。
1989年,因為LJN的生產的玩具槍所帶來的負面影響,MCA在該年第二季度額利潤降低了79.5%,MCA決定出售LJN。MCA最終決定在1990年3月將LJN賣給Acclaim Entertainment,以換取資金和Acclaim Entertainment的部分股權。

Acclaim時代
此時,LJN是Acclaim的旗下公司,但其作品風格依然保持MCA時代遵循的電影、動畫改編遊戲產業路線。Acclaim關閉了LJN的玩具部,使之成為專一的視頻遊戲開發商。此時正值8位機風行的時代,能夠在任天堂認證之下登入NES平台就意味著品質的保證。結果,許多像Acclaim的公司利用LJN這樣的下屬公司紛紛制出大量遊戲,超出了任天堂的許可,其中著名的Konami也利用旗下的Ultra採取同樣的策略,然而不同於Ultra只是Konami旗下的一個品牌,LJN依然是一個合法的上市公司,獨立於Acclaim。即便後來任天堂在九十年代廢除了審核標準,Acclaim依然讓LJN在超任主機上窮追猛打。
LJN的任何一款遊戲都不是自己製作的,而是來自第三方工作室,但是許多遊戲從未公布他們的製作者(即便是Acclaim時期開發的)。
1994年,LJN和Flying Edge以及Arena娛樂三家公司(後兩個負責為Acclaime開發世嘉主機遊戲)合併併入了Acclaim。
2000年,在Acclaim發行Dreamcast平台遊戲《速度之魂1937》時,LJN的名字才再一次也是最後一次出現在遊戲裡。
