At the beginning of the 1990s, Lars Wingefors founded a company named LW Comics to sell and trade secondhand comic books. In 1993 the focus of that company shifted to video games, again starting as a mail-order retailer for secondhand software and cartridges, finally becoming Nordic Games. Over the years the company added new goods to its portfolio and established several stores over the Finnish and Scandinavian area. In 2000 British retailer Gameplay.com (later renamed to Game) acquired Nordic Games for £5.96 million. After the dot-com bubble Wingefors re-acquired the Nordic retail division from financially troubled Gameplay for 1 Swedish Krona or 7 pence. In 2004, the company started with a new outlet store concept. In 2008, Nordic Games entered game development by creating its own publishing branch Nordic Games Publishing in order to create products for its outlet stores. Some minor success was the singing game series We Sing for the Wii console.
The 1913 Nordic Games was the fifth Nordic Games and was held in Stockholm in February 1913. It was formally international sports competitions in many dicsiplines, but because of the communications of the time it was still mostly domestic sportsmen participating.
The bandy tournament was a club tournament. Beside the Swedish teams, IFK Helsingfors from Finland also participated. Leipziger HC from Germany was scheduled to appear but the Germans eventually favoured to take part in the 1913 European Bandy Championships, which were held in Switzerland at the same time. The Stockholm team AIK beat IFK Uppsala in the final game by 3-1.
Cross-country skiing
The winter of 1913 had left Stockholm little snow, so this year the cross-country skiing was arranged in Östersund. Beside Swedish skiers, there were competitors from Finland, Norway and Russia. The events were 30, 60 and 90 kilometers for men, and for women 10 kilometer. 90 km was the most prestigious event and this was won by Swede Haldo Hansson.
The Nordic Games was the first international multi-sport event that focused primarily on winter sports, and was held at varying intervals between 1901 and 1926. It was organized by Sweden’s Central Association for the Promotion of Sports, and more specifically by Viktor Balck, a member of that association and one of the five original members of the International Olympic Committee. It was, in many ways, a precursor to the modern Winter Olympic Games, whose success was a contributing factor (along with the social and economic turmoil following World War I) to the Nordic Games's discontinuation in the 1920s.
History
Although nominally international, the Nordic Games was primarily a Swedish phenomenon, and the majority of competitors were from Sweden. Of the eight Nordic Games that were held, only one was hosted outside Sweden, and that was in Norway in 1903, which then was in union with Sweden.
In 1907, similar games were held in Helsinki, Finland.
The Swedish Tourist Association was significantly involved in the early games, hoping that they would draw attention and tourism to Sweden.
THQ Nordic has 23 games in development, 13 of which haven't been announced, contain THQ IP.
