Punk Development
Based in Sunnyvale, CA, Punk Development was founded by Jeff Spangenberg (who later started Iguana Entertainment) and served as the product development arm for Oklahoma-based RazorSoft.
In August 1991, Sega Enterprises, Ltd. sued RazorSoft and Punk Management, claiming breach of contract, conspiracy, fraud, unauthorized use of copyrights, trademarks and logos, and misappropriation of intellectual properties. [1] Programmer Kevin Seghetti recalls that the lawsuit might have been over RazorSoft manufacturing its "own cartridges for Stormlord, instead of paying Sega to do it."
Punk Development was originally named Team Design, but a company of the same name in south San Jose complained about these "punks" stealing its name. [2]
