History

APE started out by producing the company's first major contract in the form of "Dino Island" for Orange mobile phone systems. APE was next hired by publisher Code Masters to develop its "Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing" title for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, released in 2002.

A series of titles for the Game Boy Advance system followed. Already gaining plenty of interest due to the industry contacts of the Falcus brothers, the studio progressed with titles for high-profile clients, including a port of "Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo" for Capcom, and "" for Cinemaware, both in 2003.

2004 saw the start of a major growth in the studio, with staff numbers hitting almost 70. At this point titles in development included "Jackie Chan Adventures" on PS2 for Sony Europe, "Miami Vice" on PS2, Xbox and PC for Davilex, "Guy Game" on PS2 for Take 2 Interactive, "" for In2Games, and the company's biggest hit to date, the "Mega Man Anniversary Collection" on PS2, GameCube and Xbox.

In 2005 "Taito Legends' was released', published by Empire Interactive, reworking some of Taitos´ video games classics for the current consoles.

Since 2006 the studio has expanded, with a number of recent titles for platforms such as the Nintendo Wii and DS, including Jenga, AMF Bowling Pinbusters, Sea Monsters and An Arctic Tale.
