Namespacing


At first, Absolute reserved its own name for games it published on its own, though these were largely unsuccessful. Games created for other publishers, including almost all of Activision's later games for the UsefulNotes/{{Atari2600}} and UsefulNotes/{{Atari7800}} and numerous {{Licensed Game}}s, were developed under the name of its subsidiary Imagineering (not to be confused with Japanese video game publisher Imagineer) until it was folded back into Absolute in 1992.

!!Tropes associated with this company:
* InCaseYouForgotWhoWroteIt: Absolute often named game designers in titles they published, e.g. ''David Crane's A Boy and His Blob'', ''Garry Kitchen's Battletank'', ''Alex [=DeMeo=]'s Race America''. The game the company didn't survive to publish, ''Penn & Teller's Smoke & Mirrors'', fits a slightly different category.

Absolute Entertainment, Inc. was a New Jersey-based video game company founded in 1986 by David Crane, previously the co-founder of Creator/{{Activision}} and developer of such games as ''VideoGame/{{Pitfall}}''. The co-founders of Absolute included several other ex-employees of Activision.

At first, Absolute reserved its own name for games it published on its own, though these were largely unsuccessful. Games created for other publishers, including almost all of Activision's later games for the {{Atari 2600}} and {{Atari 7800}} and numerous {{Licensed Game}}s, were developed under the name of its subsidiary Imagineering (not to be confused with Japanese video game publisher Imagineer) until it was folded back into Absolute in 1992.

Absolute went bankrupt in 1995. Crane and several other employees would move on to found Skyworks Technologies.
