Data Age was a California-based video game company that developed and published titles for the Atari 2600 platform in the mid-1980s. Among their more well-known titles were Journey Escape (a tie-in with the band Journey) and Frankenstein's Monster, both published in 1982. The company was founded by Martin Meeker and four other designers.[1] The employed 35 people by December 1982.[1]

Games

Data Age released fewer than a dozen games, generally to mixed reception. Frankenstein's Monster has been cited as a standout among Atari 2600 games by several game reviewers,[2] while Sssnake and Warplock (both 1982) were included on a list of the ten worst games for the 2600.[3] Journey Escape also received poor reviews and weak sales, despite a $4.5 million marketing campaign,[1] which combined with heavy licensing fees helped lead to the company's failure.[4]

Other games released by Data Age are Airlock, Bermuda Triangle, Encounter at L-5, and Bugs–all from 1982.[4] Secret Agent, Mr. Bill's Neighborhood, Smokey Bear, and Mr. T were unreleased. A prototype of Secret Agent has been found.[5]
