eGames, Inc. is a software publisher and developer for casual and traditional computer games based in Langhorne, PA. eGames was originally called Romtech when it went public in 1996. The public company was formed by a merger between a software sales company (Romtech) and one of the first educational multi-media CD-ROM development companies called Applied Optical Media based in West Chester, PA. Soon after going public, Romtech acquired a software development company based in San Luis Obispo, CA that created SOHO software, and also shut down operations at Applied Optical Media.
eGames Inc. was one of the first companies to include advertising in their commercially bundled software. Several eGames titles included adware called "TSAdBot" from the Conducent Affiliate Network. Current eGames products do not incorporate adware or spyware.
