The Epyx brand was introduced when the company branched out to a series of more action-oriented titles.

He left the company to start <a href="/wiki/Free_Fall_Associates" title="Free Fall Associates">Free Fall Associates</a> in 1981, leaving Connelley to lead what was now a large company. </p><p>A year later, Epyx was starting to have financial difficulties. Jim Connelley wanted and received money through venture capital, and the venture capitalists installed Michael Katz to manage the company. Connelley clashed with new management, left Epyx, and formed his own development team, The Connelley Group, with all of the programmers going with him, but continued to work under the Epyx umbrella. </p><p>With no programmers to develop any games in-house, Michael Katz needed to hire programmers to ensure a steady supply of games. Several venture capital owners involved in Epyx also had ownership of a company called <a href="/wiki/Starpath" title="Starpath">Starpath</a>. While Starpath had several young programmers and hardware engineers, they were facing financial difficulties as well. Around this time, an independent submission to publish a game called <i><a href="/wiki/Jumpman_(video_game)" title="Jumpman (video game)">Jumpman</a></i> came through and was a big hit for Epyx. The success of Jumpman made Epyx a lot of money, so Michael Katz had the capital to create a merger between Epyx and Starpath, bringing Starpath's programmers and hardware engineers under the same company. Michael Katz left Epyx in 1984 after being hired away by <a href="/wiki/Atari_Corporation" title="Atari Corporation">Atari Corporation</a> as their President of Entertainment Electronics Division (and later, became the President of <a href="/wiki/Sega_of_America" class="mw-redirect" title="Sega of America">Sega of America</a>), and was replaced by Gilbert Freeman (no relation to Jon Freeman). </p><p>By 1983 Epyx discontinued its older games because, <a href="/wiki/Jerry_Pournelle" title="Jerry Pournelle">Jerry Pournelle</a> reported, "its managers tell me that arcade games so outsell strategic games that it just isn't cost-effective to put programmer time on strategy."<sup id="cite_ref-pournelle198307_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pournelle198307-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> By early 1984, <i>InfoWorld</i> estimated that Epyx was the world's 16th-largest microcomputer-software company, with $10 million in 1983 sales.<sup id="cite_ref-caruso19840402_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-caruso19840402-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Many successful action games followed, including the hits <i><a href="/wiki/Impossible_Mission" title="Impossible Mission">Impossible Mission</a></i> and the sports game <i><a href="/wiki/Summer_Games_(video_game)" title="Summer Games (video game)">Summer Games</a></i>.
