American Game Cartridges, Inc.

Overview

American Game Cartridges Inc. was formed as a subsidiary of ShareData, a minor software house located in Chandler, Arizona.

Richard Frick was appointed vice president of ShareData in 1989. Frick would be responsible for developing new recreational software titles. Richard had previously worked at Tengen developing unlicensed Nintendo games; in early ’90 he would leave to form his own company American Video Entertainment.

In late ’91, ShareData decided to close their American Game Cartridges subsidiary. ShareData went on for a few more years but in 1993 they filed for bankruptcy. In 1995 ShareData merged with Aztoré which is where they are today.
