Mindscape is a Dutch video game publisher headquartered in Amstelveen, Netherlands. Operating globally, Mindscape develops and publishes its own games, including Dog Man: Mission Impawsible, Life in Willowdale: Farm Adventures, and Windstorm and distributes them worldwide through digital platforms (such as Steam, the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, and Xbox Store) as well as physical retail channels (e.g. Amazon and Walmart). The company was originally founded in 1983 in Northbrook, Illinois, by Roger Buoy, and was a major developer and publisher through the 1980s and 1990s. Mindscape released numerous titles over nearly three decades (notably the MacVenture series, Balance of Power, Moonstone: A Hard Days Knight, Legend, Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat, Warhammer: Dark Omen, and Lego Island). Although the original US and French entities were liquidated in 2011, the Dutch subsidiary Mindscape B.V. continued and re-established the brand. Today, Mindscape B.V. carries on the Mindscape brand with a focus on family-friendly franchises and worldwide distribution of video games.
