BBC Multimedia was a division of the BBC which dealt with the publishing of computer-game versions of well-known BBC television programmes. More recently, video games, such as Doctor Who: The Adventure Games, have been published by BBC Worldwide. The Multimedia division was founded in 1995[1] and was closed in 2005 after sales declined in its boxed product business.[2]
