What does "Epyx" actually mean? JIP | Talk 22:16, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
I was there at the time and it wasn't "a lot of directions", it was committing the company to the hot new wave "VCR Games" that was a complete flop. I, RG Goudy, programmer of the communication software for "handy" was there. It was so secret and it had the industry so scared that the GameBoy was rushed into production by the Japanese to try and beat us to the punch. I recall the hardware guy (don't recall his name tho) saying "I don't care what anybody says, no video game needs sound!" My last day was August 1, 1989.
Don't know how to do the citation thing, so this'll have to do:
http://www.giantbomb.com/rg-goudy/72-49290/
http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=15693
Searched the internet and I find it curious that there is NO mention of Epyx having anything to do with VCR Games. If I wasn't there, I'd doubt it ever happened.
someone should contact RJ Micals, he headed the Handy project and quit a month after myself.
Of course, He thought the Amiga was the wave of the future and ALL of Handy's development was done on these.

I remember a program called "Print Magic" for DOS, and searching in google, looks like Epyx made this software too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Souliaq ( talk • contribs) 20:58, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
I changed the list of products into three tables (games, other software, hardware). I included an alphabetical table of contents for the list of games since it is so extensive. I didn't realize at the time that including that would remove the article's main table of contents (so now it has none). This got me thinking, should we just link to List of Epyx products (an article that hasn't been created yet) and get rid of the tables altogether? After all, most video game publishers have articles which are just a list of their games ( List of Electronic Arts games, List of Activision games, List of Strategic Simulations, Inc. games). Thoughts? — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 15:22, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
An editor removed the table of contents, but I think it looks better with it and makes it more accessible. Rationale for removing it? — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 13:44, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
