Naughty Dog is an American video game developer that was founded in 1984 by Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin.
Based in Santa Monica, California, Naughty Dog was originally known as JAM Software until 1989, and began producing games for the Apple II system.
The partnership with Baudville continued for Dream Zone, an adventure game released for the Apple IIGS as well as the Amiga, Atari ST and DOS in 1988, before they left to work with Electronic Arts on Keef the Thief and Rings of Power.
After a brief hiatus, Way of the Warrior was released for the 3DO in 1994, before Naughty Dog partnered with Sony Computer Entertainment, by whom they were later acquired in 2001.
The developer's next series was Uncharted, which consists of four main titles—Drake's Fortune (2007), Among Thieves (2009), Drake's Deception (2011), and A Thief's End (2016), and a standalone expansion, The Lost Legacy, (2017).
