NovaLogic was an American video game developer founded in 1985 by John Garcia, best known for its range of modern military simulations such as theDelta Force andCommanche series. The company developed the canceledPhilips CD-i gameSuper Mario's Wacky Worlds.

History[edit]

At the time, NovaLogic was hoping to receive work fromNintendo, and a sales executive suggested porting a popularSNES game onto the Philips CD-i. The company soon started to work on a sequel toSuper Mario World calledSuper Mario's Wacky Worlds. The game was an attempt to essentially recreateSuper Mario World for theRoyal Philips Electronics console, but due to different software, several features could not be included in the game, such as large numbers of sprites and the Mode 7 graphics mode. With the negative reception of the previous PhilipsSuper Mario–franchise game,Hotel Mario, and, overall, the commercial failure of the CD-i, it was ultimatelycanceled, officially ending the CD-i career of Silas Warner, who had expected Nintendo's exact reaction.

After 2009'sDelta Force: Xtreme 2, NovaLogic ceased active game development but continued to sell its back-catalog on online digital storefronts and operate its online multiplayer portal. On October 31, 2016, the company was liquidated and all of its assets acquired byTHQ Nordic.^[2]
