Punk Development
From Game Developer Research Institute
Punk Development was a subsidiary and product development arm of publisher RazorSoft based in Sunnyvale, California. It was founded by Jeff Spangenberg, who later started Iguana Entertainment and Retro Studios.
In August 1991, Sega Enterprises, Ltd. sued RazorSoft and Punk Development, claiming breach of contract; conspiracy and fraud; unauthorized use of copyrights, trademarks, and logos; and misappropriation of intellectual property. [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."
