Before Collin the Speedy Boy
In 1989, Oscar has created a project starring anthromorphic animals, being titled Disco Squirrel. It was only released on the arcade published by Namco. Acclaim Entertainment, upon discovering Disco Squirrel, was so impressed with the game that they not only contracted Hamilton to get permission to port them into SNES and Genesis, but also hired him as well. However, he only stayed at Acclaim for two years.

Collin the Speedy Boy
In 1991, as Warner Bros. is still brainstorming a video game. Hamilton, along with Fujiyama, was given the opportunity to give a idea, which involved a human with the power of superspeed. The team approved, and thus, the speedy kid was almost born, just needing the name. After the name was chosen to be Collin. Collin the Speedy Boy was born. The first game was released on April 16, 1993, becoming a critical and commerical success. Hamilton originally planned the game to be one-shot, but due to the game's monster success, the game became a franchise. The sequel, Collin the Speedy Boy 2 was released on June 13, 1995 with similar critical response, but was more successful than the previous installment. The game spawned a long-running franchise with the current entry, Collin the Speedy Boy World, released on September.
