Laboratorium Komputerowe Avalon (lit. "Computer Laboratory Avalon"), abbreviated LK Avalon, is a Polish software developer and distributor, with product range encompassing video games, educational software and other applications. The company was founded in mid-1989 by 19 years old schoolmates Tomasz Pazdan and Janusz Pelc, fresh after passing their matura exams, in order to publish Pelc's Atari XL/XE game Robbo. In 1990 Mirosław Liminowicz joined the company, and replaced Pelc as partner in the company when the latter left Avalon the same year. LK Avalon followed the success of Robbo with other games and applications for the Atari XL/XE. Initially publishing software developed in-house, such as Pelc's Misja and Liminowicz's Fred and Lasermania, later the company also published games created by other developers. In late 1991, Avalon made a deal with Zeppelin Games, who would license the company's games Misja and Fred for release in Western Europe. In exchange, Avalon licensed several Atari 8-bit games by Zeppelin for publication in Poland, starting around October 1992. Avalon's software was also distributed in Germany by KE-Soft and in the Netherlands by ANG Software. Besides software, Avalon was also responsible for publishing Tajemnice Atari, a magazine for Atari computer enthusiasts. It contained type-in listings of Atari programs, solutions and maps for Polish video games, and promotion of software published by LK Avalon. Launched in May 1991, Tajemnice Atari lasted until October 1993. In the mid-1990s LK Avalon branched out to other computer platforms, publishing games first for the Commodore 64, then the Amiga and PC, with the Microsoft Windows market being the company's focus since the 2000s.

Lucid Games Limited is a British video game developer based in Liverpool, England. The company was incorporated at the Companies House of the United Kingdom on 19 January 2011, and the studio formation was announced on 25 February 2011.

The founding team also included Pete Wallace, the former senior manager of Bizarre Creations, and Andy Davidson, who would become the new company's managing director and finance director, respectively, and media entrepreneur Paul Morrissey. According to Wallace, Lucid Games wanted to return to the roots of Bizarre Creations, and again develop itself to the point when Activision acquired it. With assistance from economic development company Liverpool Vision, Lucid Games sought to create 50 new positions for developers in the Liverpool area, especially targeting former employees of Bizarre Creations. Furthermore, the move aimed at preventing foreign companies, primarily those of Seattle and Canada, asking ex-Bizarre Creations employees to move away from Liverpool to assume new jobs with them, and to win new game development contracts with a highly experienced team. In July 2016, Brian Woodhouse, who formerly acted as studio director for Bizarre Creations, became Lucid Games' head of business development.

Luxoflux was an American video game developer. It was founded by Peter Morawiec and Adrian Stephens in January 1997, and was based in Santa Monica, California. Luxoflux had a relatively small team size for its first few titles. The two founders plus Jeremy Engelman, David Goodrich and Edvard Toth created Luxoflux's first title Vigilante 8. The game was successful and was ported to the Nintendo 64, and it was followed by a sequel Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense in 1999. In October 2002 Activision announced it had purchased Luxoflux, which at the time was working on True Crime: Streets of LA. The studio delivered the game and its sequel, True Crime: New York City, before working on licensed titles Kung Fu Panda and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. On February 11, 2010, Activision announced it was time to shut down the studio as part of a widespread staff reduction that also included the shuttering of Underground Development.
