Background

The company was founded in Santa Clara, California by EA Sports founder Don Traeger and former Atari executive Dennis Harper in 1997, under the name of "Don Traeger Productions", but was quickly renamed to Pacific Coast Power & Light. In 1999, they were acquired by THQ and renamed once again to Locomotive Games in 2005. Due to financial problems, THQ closed the studio in November 2008.
