Hypnotix, Inc. was an American video game developer that was founded in 1993 and located in Little Falls, New Jersey.[1] The company's highest-profile games were its "Outlaw" series of sports titles, which included Outlaw Golf, Outlaw Volleyball, and Outlaw Tennis. Hypnotix is also responsible for a wide variety of PC and console products including the Deer Avenger series, which has sold over a million copies.[2]
In July 2005, the company was acquired by Electronic Arts and most of the team was relocated to Orlando, Florida to develop titles such as the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR series, and Madden NFL on web and mobile platforms.[3][4]
