Wanadoo Edition

Wanadoo Edition at a Glance

If you are browsing PlayPile looking for information on Wanadoo Edition, you will find a publisher based in France that operated from 2000 to 2003. This company was the video game division of Wanadoo, which was the internet arm of France Télécom before it became Orange S.A. The entity released twelve games during its short lifespan before being acquired by and dissolved into Microids in September 2003. Their output was entirely concentrated in the 2000s decade with no activity outside that window. Wanadoo Edition had a clear focus on PC software, publishing ten of their titles for Microsoft Windows. They also released games for PlayStation 2, PlayStation, Mac, PlayStation 3, and Game Boy Advance. Their catalog spans several genres but leans heavily toward adventure games with seven releases in that category. Puzzle games appear three times, while point-and-click, strategy, sport, role-playing, real-time strategy, simulator, and racing titles round out the rest of their portfolio. They acted as a developer on only two projects within this list. The quality of their work shows significant variation across their small library. The average IGDB rating for their three rated titles sits at 68.4 out of 100. This score reflects one great title, one good title, one mixed title, and no poor entries. Their highest-rated game is Chicago 1930, released in December 2003 with a score of 80.5. Fatal Frame from 2001 follows closely at 77.3. In contrast, Necronomicon: The Gateway to Beyond from their first year of operation holds a score of 47.3. Other releases like Arthur's Knights II: The Secret of Merlin and Dino Island appeared in late 2002 alongside Inquisition and NGT: Next Generation Tennis. This publisher did not sustain a long-term presence in the market, yet they managed to secure some notable entries within their niche. Their final release marked the end of their active period just months before the corporate restructuring occurred. The data suggests a studio that moved quickly through various genres without establishing a singular dominant style or consistent high rating across all titles.
