The demoscene background influenced many of the released or work-in-progress game projects, which were often technically innovative and accomplished feats that were previously thought impossible on the respective hardware platforms. For example the Sega 32X (Platform) 3D engine developed by Scavenger team Zyrinx (Company) is still regarded as one of the best of its kind on that platform. Teams that worked on games for Scavenger:

Zyrinx (Company) (now IO Interactive (Company))
Lemon (Company) (now IO Interactive (Company) and Shiny Entertainment)
Triton (now Starbreeze Studios)

Scavenger went bankrupt around 1998. Many of the original teams' members are now active in other game companies, such as IO Interactive. In retrospect, Scavenger played a key role in establishing many of today's successful game companies in Northern Europe.
