From coin-op cabinets to touch screens.
Plaid World Studios began in 1993 with a love for original worlds and approachable play. The technology kept changing; the goal did not: make games that welcome players in, then give them a reason to stay.
That journey crossed classic Mac, Windows, arcade hardware, the first generation of iPhone and iPad games, Android, and Nintendo Wii.
Now the earlier games are being preserved while new versions of several Plaid World favorites are prepared for release.
- 1993
- Independent from the start
