Background: Hasbro Interactive was the interactive division of Hasbro Inc. It was founded in 1995 and was purchased by Infogrames in 2001. His president was Thomas Dusenberry (although he was called Tom in the games).

1st Logo
(1995-1996)


Logo: TBA .

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: On the earliest games by Hasbro.

Scare Factor: None.


2nd Logo
(1996 - 1999)

Nickname: "Interceptor"


Logo: We see a triangular object (possibly rocket) quickly moving towards us. Suddenly an intercepting rocket appears , leaving a colored slide, and crashes the triangular rocket. All the action bumps into the screen, forming the Hasbro triangle logo, surrounded by many descending sparks.

FX/SFX: The rockets moving and the explosion.

Music/Sounds: A rocket whistle and the bang sounds.

Variants:

• Nearly all games contain the still version. Actually, the animated version was just a custom variant.
• The logo can have an outline, for example in H.E.D.Z.

Availability: The animated version is seen on Gunship! The still version is seen on other games.

Scare Factor: Low to Medium, the rocket moving and exploding near to you is not a calm thing.


3rd Logo
(Late 90's)

Nickname: "Rolling Stones"


Logo: We see five white dots moving clockwise by a spiral towards the center. There, they merge and form a spinning blue pyramid with a big blue sphere carved on its sides. The pyramid begin to rotate and five white spheres pass it, being colorized. Then the spheres appears again, spin around the pyramid (which becomes 2D) and takes their usual places as on Hasbro logo. The words HASBRO Interactive moves in with a door-closing effects and the logo sparkles.

FX/SFX: All the animation in it.

Music/Sounds: Various ambient sounds and a fanfare-like tune near to the end.


Cheesy Factor: Nice concept, but the music seems to be a bit asyncronized.

Availability: Possibly seen in one game for PC (cannot remember which one) developed by Meyer/Glass.

Scare Factor: None.


4th Logo
(1999-2001)

Nickname: "Ball Triangles"


Logo: We see a blue 3-D circle on a blue background. Then it turns into a green one on a green background. The pattern continues (yellow, orange and red) until the logo forms. This logo is more elaborate, with reflections and 3D effects.

FX/SFX: All the animation in it.

Music/Sounds: A Rocky Electronic Tune.

Availability: Seen on most games by Hasbro Interactive (except these ones: Tonka Raceway, Tonka Search & Rescue, Battleship, Monopoly (the 1999 version, which had the next logo instead.), and Yahtzee).

Scare Factor: None.


5th Logo
(1999-2000)

Nickname: "Electrons"


Logo: Some colored electrons move around a blue atom. The camera zooms out to reveal the space full of debris, then the triangle cuts off the space and makes the blue sphere inside it, surrounded by electrons as in the usual Hasbro logo. The logo is outlined. Suddenly the red electron enters, making the way to its place and the logo shines to reveal LET'S PLAY! below the picture.

FX/SFX: All the animation in it.

Music/Sounds: A "sshhh" sounds of flying electrons, followed by an ascending noisy tune.

Availability: Very Rare, as it was seen on only two games: Frogger 2 for the Playstation and PC, and the 1999 PC version of Monopoly. Both are hard to find now.

Scare Factor: Low.

Final Note: Hasbro Interactive was eaten by Infogrames on January 2001 and later became a part of Atari.
