The success of the Screamer arcade rally series made way for a partnership with Electronic Arts and it led to the development of three games in the EA Sports Superbike series released between 1999 and 2000.

Mistigris
Emerging from the ashes of predecessor iMPERiAL in the summer of 1994, Mistigris (aka Mist and, c.1997, "mISTfUNK") was a collective of young, amateur practitioners of various computer artforms, generally deriving membership from and serving the online community of area code 604, Vancouver, BC, Canada. On and off over the course of the next four years, they honed their skills, embracing exciting new developments in creative technologies (and squeezing the last drop of use out of old ones), finding international audiences and collaborators before fragmenting in 1998 as affordable dial-up internet access broke locally, members scattering to the four winds, a handful since finding employment in the video game industry.
