About

Valcon Games was founded in 2005 and became known for publishing niche and budget titles in North America, often localizing European releases. Their portfolio includes licensed racing and sports games like Suzuki TT Superbikes, Alfa Romeo Racing Italiano, and Bode Miller Alpine Skiing. They also published character-driven titles such as James Pond Codename Robocod and Crazy Frog Arcade Racer.

Former Kemco employees Glenn Halseth and Colin Gordon established the publisher to bridge the gap between European developers and the North American PlayStation 2 market. Many of their releases were sourced from partnerships with overseas companies like Milestone s.r.l. and Midas Interactive Entertainment.

The company's debut year was anchored by the motorcycle simulation Suzuki TT Superbikes (2005) and the retro revival James Pond Codename Robocod (2005). Building on this momentum, they expanded their racing portfolio with Alfa Romeo Racing Italiano (2006) and its two-wheeled successor, Suzuki Super-Bikes II Riding Challenge (2006).

Beyond motorsport, the publisher diversified into winter sports and action-adventure genres. They targeted casual audiences with licensed offerings such as Bode Miller Alpine Skiing (2006) and Ski-Doo Snow Racing (2007). They also ventured into fantasy action with Pirates Legend of the Black Buccaneer (2006), alongside the whimsical, European-derived Crazy Frog Arcade Racer (2007). These releases defined the company's library during the twilight years of the sixth-generation console era.
