Venture capitalists buy chunk of Codemasters

With the recent problems at Eidos,
Codemasters have received a stay of execution (not that they were in any apparent danger) thanks to a big wedge of cash.

Benchmark Capital have made a significant investment in the company. The article below has the details, plus the usual post coital back slapping.

As a little bit of trivia, Codemasters are one of the very few companies who won't allow their old 8-bit titles to be freely available on the net. So sadly, due to this, you're deprived of playing several crap Dizzy games on your emulator. Try not to lose any sleep.
