Old WildTangent logo.

Status: Partially Found

WildTangent was a PC/web game company founded in 1998 by Alex St. John.

WildTangent used to develop their own original games, sometimes to advertise various companies, TV, and movies. Most of the WildTangent titles was discontinued and have become lost.

Technology

In order to play WildTangent games, the user would have to install WildTangent Web Driver and Microsoft Java Virtual Machine. Java would need to be uninstalled in case it blocks these games from running.

The games had online and offline versions, but the online versions no longer function.

The reason they discontinued their games is unknown. However, they were criticized because their games contain spyware and required anybody to constantly buy more WildCoins.

Most of WildTangent games were all stored in GIT type system/source safe so no one needed personal copies.

Availability of Games

Most discontinued WildTangent games are no longer available for purchase, but some can still be downloaded from other distributors or anybody who has the installer backed up. The list of games that are lost and found can be viewed below.
