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 recalled 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 unfortunately, "another local firm [had] the same name." Rumor has it "the other Team Design had complained of young 'punks' hijacking its name." [2]
