Bit Managers

Spain Founded 1992 Website

Bit Managers, formerly known as New Frontier, was a video game developer company based in Barcelona. In 1992, the company changed its name to Bit Managers and began creating games for Nintendo consoles (especially for Game Boy). This was their best time, they created innovative games based on comic book characters such as Asterix, The Smurfs or Tintin for the Infogrames company. In addition, at that time when almost no company translated video games into Spanish, they did it with theirs. In 1997, they were chosen by Acclaim from among various studios to develop the Turok series for the Game Boy. In 1998 the company was aquired by Gaelco, and on 2001 the former Bit Managers partners bought back the company and continued their relationship with Infogrames by releasing several games, this time for the Game Boy Advance. In 2005, the Spanish company Virtual Toys bought Bit Managers, becoming part of that company. Bit Managers is currently known as Virtual Toys Barcelona.
