Webfoot Technologies was a video game developer based in Lemont that was founded by Dana Dominiak and Paschal Poscol in 1993. It started off making DOS-based games, before making Windows software, and eventually went on to develop games for the Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo DS.

1st Logo (1995-1998)
