Retro gaming: Ziggurat Interactive acquires the rights to Rainbow-Arts games
Five years ago, Julian Eggebrecht, founder of the legendary development studio Factor 5, explained in interviews (German) that the games company had not only secured the name of the former German publisher Rainbow Arts from the THQ bankruptcy estate, but also the rights to the titles published by the Gütersloh-based company in the 1980s and 1990s. A short time later, Factor 5, which also went bankrupt in 2009, was re-established in Germany as a GmbH.
The retro publisher Ziggurat Interactive now announces in a press release that they have acquired the rights to over 80 titles from the Rainbow Arts catalog. Rendering Ranger R2 (SNES), Logical, Lollypop, X-Out, and M.U.D.S. are listed as examples. However, the best-known title published in Gütersloh is not mentioned: the "Turrican" series Factor 5 had still marketed in the fall of 2020 as limited new editions. (cg)
