'''Argonaut Games''' was a British video game and software developer originally founded by {{s|wikipedia|Jez San}} in 1982. The | '''Argonaut Games''' was a British video game and software developer originally founded by {{s|wikipedia|Jez San}} in 1982. The name is based on his initials, J. San, being a play on {{s|wikipedia|Jason and the Argonauts}}. Argonaut first developed a relation with [[Nintendo]] when they presented a method of defeating the {{s|nintendowiki|Game Boy}} copyright protection mechanism.<ref>https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-07-04-born-slippy-the-making-of-star-fox</ref> This led to both companies working on a prototype flight simulator called ''SNESGlider''. Nintendo published Argonaut's Game Boy action game ''{{s|nintendowiki|X}}'' in 1992. Full development of SNESGlider then entered production, and San convinced Nintendo to make custom hardware for it. The hardware became the Super FX chip and the game became {{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox (game)|Star Fox}}, released in 1993. Nintendo would then publish the Argonaut-developed ''{{s|nintendowiki|Stunt Race FX}}'' in 1994. Argonaut then started development of ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox 2}}'' and got far into development before Nintendo shut it down. The most likely reasons for this are the game looking primitive by then-current hardware standards and Nintendo making ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox 64}}'' in-house without their involvement. Argonaut then pitched a 3D platformer starring [[Yoshi]] but this was rejected. The project eventually evolved into ''{{s|wikipedia|Croc: Legend of the Gobbos}}''. Argonaut would continue to develop games and chips for other companies until going bankrupt in 2004 and forced to liquidate their assets, effectively shutting themselves down. | ||
