List of Naughty Dog video games
Naughty Dog is an American video game developer that was founded in 1984 by Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin. Based in Santa Monica, California, Naughty Dog was originally known as JAM Software ("Jason and Andy's Magic") until 1989, and began producing games for the Apple II system.[1] Their first release, Math Jam, was an educational game for the system which Gavin and Rubin self-published in 1985.[1] The following year, with the duo aged just 16, JAM developed the skiing game Ski Crazed, which was published by Michigan-based company Baudville for the Apple II.[2] The partnership with Baudville continued for Dream Zone, an adventure game released for the Apple IIGS as well as the Amiga and DOS in 1987, before they left to work with Electronic Arts on Keef the Thief: A Boy and His Lockpick and Rings of Power.[3] After a brief hiatus, Way of the Warrior was released for the 3DO in 1994,[4] before Naughty Dog partnered with Sony Computer Entertainment, by whom they were later acquired in 2001.[5]
Naughty Dog was originally best known for developing the Crash Bandicoot series for Sony's PlayStation console.[1] After launching the series with the first title in 1996, Naughty Dog also developed sequels Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back and Crash Bandicoot: Warped, as well as spin-off Crash Team Racing, before their partnership with distributor Universal Interactive Studios (who owned the rights to the title) ended.[6] Two years after the release of Crash Team Racing, Naughty Dog returned in 2001 with the first title in a new series for the PlayStation 2, Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, designed "with the spirit of Crash Bandicoot in mind", which like Crash Bandicoot spawned two sequels and a racing spin-off.[7] The developer's next series was Uncharted, which as of April 2012 had sold over 17 million copies worldwide.[8] All three main series titles were developed by Naughty Dog, and released for the PlayStation 3 between 2007 and 2011;[9] a fourth entry, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, is currently scheduled for a spring 2016 release on the PlayStation 4.[10] Naughty Dog's most recent new title is The Last of Us, released for the PlayStation 3 in 2013[11] and for the PlayStation 4 as The Last of Us Remastered in 2014.[12]
