Romero Games Ltd. is an independent game studio that was established in November 2015 by John Romero along with Brenda Romero and is located in Galway, Ireland [1]. This is the first game studio Romero has established since 2005 and currently it has released one title while three more are in development.

History

Following his departure from Ion Storm in the early 2000's, John Romero worked to establish Monkeystone Games in 2002 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 November 2015. The studio's first game was a HD, re-skinned Dangerous Dave in the Deserted Pirate's Hideout which added new graphics and music to the classic platformer that he had designed and released in 1990, but now released on mobile. The studio's second game,Gunman Taco Truck[2], was released in early 2017 on Steam[2] and for the iPhone and Android device. It was announced in March that several prominent indie game developers had joined the team at Romero Games to work on a new title that has not been announced yet [3].
