Light & Shadow Production (LSP) was a video game publisher that specialized in licensed properties for handheld and console platforms. The company published titles based on popular franchises, including Antz, Dinosaur, and Robots, as well as multiple games in the Inspector Gadget series such as Inspector Gadget: Mad Robots Invasion and Inspector Gadget: Advance Mission.
Established in France, the publisher focused heavily on European console and handheld markets, securing regional rights for major international properties. The company handled the PlayStation port of the real-time strategy game
Z (1995) and released the sci-fi shooter
Invasion (1999).
LSP's output was defined by its close relationship with the Inspector Gadget and Robin Hood franchises. For the bionic detective's gaming lineup, they coordinated releases like
Inspector Gadget: Mad Robots Invasion (2000) for the PlayStation and
Inspector Gadget: Advance Mission (2001) for the Game Boy Advance, focusing on gadget-based puzzle-platforming. They also targeted the cinematic tie-in market, releasing
Antz (1999) for the Game Boy Color, alongside
Dinosaur (2000) and
Robots (2000) across various platforms. These family-friendly intellectual properties formed the core of LSP's business model until 2004, when the company was acquired by Hip Interactive, leading to the retirement of the brand.
