History

The Code Monkeys was founded by Colin Hogg and Mark Kirkby on 1 February 1988. The company went on to develop games for home computers as far back as the ZX81 and video game consoles such as the Mega Drive and the original PlayStation; for the last they developed all budget interactive titles taken from Dingo Pictures' animated films, which were published first by Midas and then by Phoenix Games. In January 2010 the company scaled back its development team because of "production needs and predictions" for the year ahead. On 1 February 2011, shareholders of The Code Monkeys voted to cease trading, a move that was effective on 14 February 2011.
