Majesco is a video game developer founded in 1986. It first made a name as a reissuer of old titles that had been abandoned by their original publisher. By cutting the prices dramatically and, eventually, arranging the rights to self-manufacture games for both Nintendo and Sega systems, the company found a sustainable market niche.

Later, they arranged with Sega to manufacture a version of its Sega Genesis (also known as Sega Megadrive ) 16-bit console, which had been superseded by the 32-bit Sega Saturn . They released this in 1998 as the Genesis 3 , and followed up with a version of the hand-held Sega Game Gear called the Game Gear Core System .

More recently, the company s focus shifted to in-house game development - initially under the brand of Pipe-Dream Interactive , since few believed they could make the transition successfully. Majesco now focuses on developing for newer systems, such as Nintendo s Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance, Microsoft s Xbox, and Sony s PlayStation 2.
