History

Boss Game Studios was formed in Redmond, Washington as an independent offshoot of Boss Film Studios, a company that created special effects for feature films.[1] Some members of its creative and development team had contributed to games such as The Lion King and Dune II.[1] Barry Leitch was the company's music director.[1] Although their first game was the 1997 platformer Spider: The Video Game,[2] the company specialized in Nintendo 64 racing games with releases such as Top Gear Rally and World Driver Championship. In 2000, the company was approached by Microsoft, who offered them an opportunity to develop games for their Xbox console.[3] In 2002, after starting work on an Xbox racing game, the company disbanded because they could not find a publisher.[4]
