Time Frame

WildTangent started taking off as a company around the same time that people started to truly realize the value of the Internet, in the 1990s.

Famous Ties

Several large companies advertise on WildTangent games. Some of these companies include Disney, Coca-Cola, Ford and Wal-Mart.

Fun Fact

Gamers can purchase "WildCoins" to play games online much like a person in an arcade would use tokens.

Warnings

Because WildTangent games are slick and sophisticated, they often are frustrating to play if a gamer does not have a broadband Internet connection.
