===Background===
===Background===
Gremlin Graphics was a Sheffield-based company created in 1984 by Ian Stewart. It was slightly renamed in 1994. In 1997, Gremlin acquired Imagitec Design and [[Rockstar North (UK)|DMA Design]] (creators of ''Grand Theft Auto''), and was itself purchased by [[Infogrames (France)|Infogrames]] in 1999, ultimately selling DMA to [[Take-Two Interactive]]. After this, it became Infogrames' main UK branch. The studio closed in 2003 and most of its former employees went on to create Sumo Digital, while Ian Stewart started [[Zoo Digital Publishing (UK)|Zoo Digital]].
