Flashman managing videogame licenses for Classic Media

Flashman Studios has signed a strategic consulting agreement with Classic Media as part of plans to launch a new series of games based on the company's entertainment licenses.

Those include Rocky and Bullwinkle, Dick Tracy, Lassie, Roger Ramjet and Gerald McBoing Boing. Classic Media is also currently developing a feature film titled Underdog with Spyglass and Disney, plus VeggieTales and Lone Ranger movies and a new series of George of the Jungle.

Flashman is now seeking publishers to produce games based on the characters from around the globe.

"Flashman Studiosâs vast experience and key industry relationships make them an ideal partner to help us bring our classic characters to a new generation of gamers," said Leslie Levine, Classicâs VP of world wide licensing.

"We look to tap into Flashmanâs wealth of knowledge to strategically determine which developers and publishers can best capture the uniquely fun game play inherent in each of these great icons."

"Flashman is proactive when it comes to representing intellectual property and presenting a full business case to game publishers," added Flashman CEO Brad Young.

"We typically think through an interactive brand strategy that takes into consideration the appropriate game platform for the property, high level design, and we often present a game developer whoâs both passionate about the intellectual property and able to execute."
