What is animation magic?

Animation Magic was a video game development studio founded in 1988 by Bob Jacob and David Mullich. The company is best known for their work on the popular video game series "The Horde" and "Return to Zork".

Animation Magic pioneered the use of live-action video footage with computer-generated graphics in their games, creating a unique and immersive experience for players. They were also one of the first game developers to incorporate full-motion video technology into their games, which was cutting-edge at the time.

The studio was based in California and had a small team of talented developers and artists who worked on their games. Animation Magic's games were well-received by critics and players alike for their innovative use of technology and engaging gameplay.

Unfortunately, Animation Magic ceased operations in the mid-1990s, with their last game released in 1996. Despite their relatively short lifespan, the studio left a lasting impact on the video game industry and their games are still fondly remembered by fans.
