Romero Games Ltd. is an independent game studio that was established on August 11, 2015[1] by John Romero along with Brenda Romero and is located in Galway, Ireland.[2] This is the ninth game studio Romero has established in his career, and currently it has released two titles while another is in development.

## History

Following his departure from Ion Storm in July 2001, John Romero worked to establish Monkeystone Games in 2001 with Tom Hall before departing to help establish Gazillion Entertainment in 2005. Romero and game developer Brenda Brathwaite became engaged on March 24, 2012. They married on October 27, 2012. Together, they worked on Ravenwood Fair, with Romero as Lead Designer and Brathwaite as Creative Director and Game Designer. They also founded social game development company Loot Drop in November 2010, and worked on Cloudforest Expedition and Ghost Recon Commander together. He moved to Ireland with Brenda Romero and together they established Romero Games Ltd. in August 2015.

The studio's first game was an HD, re-skinned Dangerous Dave in the Deserted Pirate's Hideout[3] which added new graphics and music to the classic platformer that he had designed and released in 1990, but was released on mobile. The studio's second game, Gunman Taco Truck,[4] was released on January 28, 2017 on Steam (Windows and Mac)[5] and for the iPhone and Android devices.

The studio announced in March 2017 that several prominent indie game developers had joined the team at Romero Games to work on a new title that has not yet been announced.[6]
