Rockstar Lincoln

Rockstar Lincoln Limited (formerly Spidersoft Limited and Tarantula Studios) is a British video game developer based in Lincoln, England. The company was founded as Spidersoft, by Steve Marsden, David Cooke and Andrew Hewson in May 1992. At that time, they primarily developed Game Boy and Game Gear ports of varoius titles, including pinball-style games from publisher 21st Century Entertainment. The publisher acquired Spidersoft in 1995, though shut down in March 1998.

In June 1998, Take-Two Interactive acquired Spidersoft, renaming them Tarantula Studios. The new studio continued working exclusively on Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, either for original concepts or for conversions of other Take-Two Interactive-owned properties, such as Grand Theft Auto (1999). In 2001, the studio was renamed Rockstar Lincoln, and became part of Take-Two Interactive’s Rockstar Games family of video game companies. The studio has since become dedicated to working only on video game localisation and quality assurance for games published by Rockstar Games
