eGames at a Glance

eGames is a United States company founded in 1992 that operated as both a publisher and developer until 2019. The firm released 40 titles on PlayPile, with 38 of those appearing under their publishing label and only four where they acted as the primary developer. Their catalog spans from the late 1990s through 2019, showing a clear shift in activity over time. The company published just four games during the 1990s. Production peaked in the 2000s with 22 releases. By the 2010s, their output dropped significantly to only seven titles. Most of their work targets PC users, as all 40 listed games are available on Microsoft Windows. They also published five games for Mac and a handful of titles for mobile or handheld systems like iOS, Nintendo DS, Wii, and Nintendo Switch. Their genre focus leans heavily toward casual experiences, with Puzzle leading the list at seven games. Adventure follows with five entries, while Role-playing games make up four releases. Other categories include Platform, Sport, Simulator, Strategy, and Arcade games. The quality of their output varies across their history. They have four rated titles on IGDB that average a score of 64.2 out of 100. Their best-received game is Speedy Eggbert from 1998, which holds a rating of 76.8. This title falls into the good range alongside Swords and Sandals Pirates from 2018 at 70 points. Two other entries in the series, Swords and Sandals 5 Redux and Swords and Sandals 2 Redux: Maximus Edition, scored 60 and 50 respectively. These numbers suggest a trend where later releases in their popular franchise received mixed to good reviews rather than critical acclaim. No titles from their catalog reached the great rating threshold of 80 or higher. While they maintained activity for over two decades, their most recent games like Swords and Sandals Spartacus appeared in late 2019 before the company ceased operations.
