Everything about Gremlin Interactive totally explained
Gremlin Interactive was a
British software house based in
Sheffield and working mostly in the
home computer market. The company was established in
1984 as
Gremlin Graphics Software Ltd. and renamed in
1994. Gremlin's early success was based on games like
Monty on the Run and
Thing on a Spring. Their primary market then was
8-bit computers like the
ZX Spectrum,
Amstrad CPC and
Commodore 64.
Gremlin scored big with the
Premier Manager series in the early
1990s, and then with
Actua Soccer, the first
football game in full
3D, while having success with other games such as the
Lotus series,
Zool,
Motorhead or
Hardwar. Following
EA's success with the
EA Sports brand, Gremlin also released their own sports videogame series, adding
Golf,
Tennis and
Ice Hockey to their
Actua Sports series. In 1996 Gremlin also released a stunt car racing game called
Fatal Racing.
In
1996 Gremlin acquired
DMA Design (creators of
Grand Theft Auto and
Lemmings).
In
1999 they themselves were bought by
Infogrames and renamed "Infogrames Sheffield House", for a reported fee of around
£21m, but the studio closed in
2003. The building they occupied has since been demolished.
