A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE APES

In July of 2000, Steve Ranck, Mike Starich and Scott Goffman left Midway Home Entertainment to form their own game development studio. They had successfully completed Hydro Thunder for the arcade, and were ready for a new challenge.

They wanted to create a game studio that would provide a creative, open, friendly work environment, attracting the best talent in the industry.
