Founded in 1998 and based in Austin, Texas, the studio became known for porting major franchises to consoles, such as Monster Truck Madness 64 and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. They also developed original titles and licensed adaptations, including games based on DreamWorks' Shark Tale and Over the Hedge, before shutting down in 2014.
Rob Cohen, formerly of Iguana Entertainment, co-founded the studio after working on high-profile Nintendo 64 releases. The developer established its technical reputation by translating complex PC interfaces and mechanics to home consoles. A prime example of this expertise was the console adaptation of
The Sims (2003), which redesigned the popular life-simulation game with a direct-control scheme and a new 3D engine for platforms like the PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, and Xbox. This release was later re-issued under various budget labels, including
The Sims [Greatest Hits] (2003).
Beyond simulation ports, the studio collaborated with major publishers like Activision, Sega, and EA. They developed the action-adventure title
Pitfall: The Lost Expedition (2004) and the open-world superhero game
The Incredible Hulk (2008). In its later years, the company transitioned toward independent development, culminating in the launch of
Loadout (2014), a stylized, free-to-play multiplayer shooter featuring highly customizable weaponry. Despite initial player interest, the studio could not sustain operations, leading to its eventual closure.
