GT Interactive Software

The old company name for Atari, Inc. The GT Interactive Software Corporation (GTI) was founded in February 1993 as a division of GoodTimes Home Video, a video-tape distributor owned by the Cayre family, with Ron Chaimowitz as co-founder and president. That same year the publisher saw the release of their first shareware title, the hugely popular Doom. In its first year, revenue reached $10.3 million. GT was the first publisher to allow developers to retain their Intellectual Property. It was bought by Infogrames Entertainment and subsequentially renamed to Infogrames, Inc. on May, 2000.
