Kawara/Georgie

Kawara/Georgie Software K.K., formerly known as Georgie Software was a Japanese video game developer and animation studio. Founded by advertising executive Ishi Nagatano in 1985, the company is best known for its interactive movie games of the 1990s utilizing animated FMV cutscenes, such as Survivor and Space Bounty, often experimental in their execution. Time Warner Interactive purchased a 49% controlling stake in 1994, later purchased by Midway Games following their purchase of TWI and Atari Games in 1996. Animation film director Moshi Kawara would later join the company in 1997 as Co-CEO with Nagatano, renaming it to Kawara/Georgie. The following years would see the company switch over to computer animated cutscenes and games made by Kawara or based on his movies like The Ghosts Among Us. Following the bankruptcy of Midway, Kawara and Nagatano sold their remainign shares to Warner Bros. Games in 2009.
