Frog City Software was founded by Rachel Bernstein, Bill Spieth and Ted Spieth in 1994.[1] In 2003, following the release of Tropico 2: Pirate Cove, Frog City Software was acquired by Take-Two Interactive.[1] On January 25, 2005, Take-Two Interactive announced the opening of publishing label 2K, which would henceforth manage its development studios, including Frog City Software.[2]
On June 6, 2006, Snow, a game about drug trafficking in development at Frog City Software at the time, was canceled.[3] It was presumed that the move occurred as an immediate consequence of the 2005 Hot Coffee controversy.[4] Frog City Software shut down later that year.[1] Veterans of the studio established Sidecar Studios as a successor but disbanded a year later to pursue other interests.[1]
