About Wanadoo Edition Games
Wanadoo Edition was the interactive entertainment division of Wanadoo, a major French internet service provider and subsidiary of France Télécom. Active during the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Paris-based company established itself as a cornerstone of the European gaming industry, operating as both a forward-thinking publisher and a collaborative development partner.
The publisher earned a dedicated cult following among adventure gaming enthusiasts for its strong commitment to cinematic, lore-rich narrative experiences. In 2000, they published Necronomicon: The Dawning of Darkness, a haunting point-and-click graphic adventure heavily inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. The game stood out for its rich atmospheric dread, intricate environmental puzzles, and immersive pre-rendered 3D backgrounds that perfectly captured psychological horror.
Beyond their Lovecraftian horror adventures, Wanadoo Edition built an eclectic portfolio featuring strategy, sports, and historical simulators, frequently collaborating with iconic studios like Index+ and Cryo Interactive. In 2003, the company's gaming operations were acquired by MC2-Microïds, merging its assets into the legendary Microids catalog. Its rich history of backing artistic, story-driven point-and-click adventure games remains a celebrated chapter in European retro gaming.
