Known for turning toy brands into digital adventures, Playmates Interactive Entertainment was the Costa Mesa-based publishing arm of Playmates Toys during the mid-1990s. Partnering with studios like Shiny and Lobotomy, it launched DOS favorites such as Earthworm Jim (1994) and the combo pack Earthworm Jim 1 & 2: The Whole Can ‘O Worms (1996), the Egyptian FPS Powerslave/Exhumed (1996), and the stylish 3-D shooter MDK (1997).
Though the label closed before the decade ended, its quirky catalogue still embodies the bold spirit of ’90s PC gaming. You can fire up every preserved release instantly in your browser on this page—no installs needed—and enjoy them all for free on BestDOSGames.
