The second half of the 1990s saw several key acquisitions for Hasbro. In 1995, Hasbro acquired the Larami company, which made Super Soakers, the world's best selling water toys. In 1997, Hasbro purchased the Russ Berrie and Company subsidiaries, Cap Toys and OddzOn, picking up the KOOSH brands and the highly successful interactive Cap Candy line, which featured SPIN POPS. The following year, Hasbro welcomed Tiger Electronics, Avalon Hill, maker of strategic board games, and Galoob, which owned MICRO MACHINES, into the Hasbro family.

A more promising venture began in 1995 with the establishment of Hasbro Interactive and the release of its first product that same year, a CD-ROM version of Monopoly. More than 180,000 units were sold in the first eight weeks following its release. Additional titles to be released in 1996 included Risk, Battleship, and Playskool-brand games.
