Gaming Ads: Williams Entertainment
As I wrote in the Tradewest ads post, Williams Entertainment is what Tradewest became after being acquired by WMS Industries in 1994. It published many home ports of Midway's arcade games and console versions of id Software's Doom. In 1996 WMS Industries purchased Time Warner Interactive which included Atari Games, and those companies and Williams were merged with Midway Games to form Midway Home Entertainment.

Gaming Ads: Time Warner Interactive
Time Warner was formed in 1990 following a merger between Time and Warner Communications that brought many entertainment companies under one roof. Time Warner Interactive may have existed under another name before its official entry into video games in 1993. It was in 1993 that Time Warner purchased a controlling interest in Atari Games Corporation which included Tengen, an Atari division that Time Warned dissolved in 1994. As a publisher and distributor, Time Warner Interactive released around 30 games between 1993-1996 before it was sold to WMS Industries.
