Other Names | LJN Toys, Ltd. Flying Edge |
LJN was an American video game company and toy company. They are known for their several poor-quality video games. The company was founded by Jack Friedman, whose previous boss was named Norman J. Lewis. His initials backwards are the result of the company name.
The biggest misconception about LJN is that they developed the video games they published. In reality, LJN only published the games, and outsourced their development to companies such as Atlus, Bits Studios, Rare, Software Creations, Westone, and some other game developers.
When LJN published games on Sega consoles, they would use the company name Flying Edge. LJN was later bought and dissolved by Acclaim, and their last game was a Dreamcast game titled Spirit of Speed.
