'''Gremlin Industries''', not to be confused with [[Gremlin Graphics]] or [[Gremlin Interactive]], was an arcade game manufacturer founded in [[1973]] based in San Diego, California; in [[1976]], they released [[Blockade]], [[Comotion]] and [[Hustle]], all of which are essentially the same game but with some minor differences. In [[1977]], they released [[Depthcharge]] and [[Safari]] - and in [[1978]], they released [[Blasto]] and [[Frogs]] ([[Namco]] also licensed their very first arcade game, [[Gee Bee]], to them for US manufacture and distribution, during that year). In [[1979]], they released [[Head On]] (to which [[Sega]] produced a sequel, [[Head On 2]]); in [[1980]], [[Nichibutsu]] and [[Nintendo]] licensed [[Moon Cresta]] and [[Space Firebird]] to them, for US manufacture and distribution. Finally, in [[1981]], they released a vector game called [[Eliminator]], of which there were two versions - a 2-player one (housed in an upright cabinet), and a 4-player one (housed in a cocktail table). | '''Gremlin Industries''', not to be confused with [[Gremlin Graphics]] or [[Gremlin Interactive]], was an arcade game manufacturer founded in [[1973]] based in San Diego, California; in [[1976]], they released [[Blockade]], [[Comotion]] and [[Hustle]], all of which are essentially the same game but with some minor differences.
