Acclaim Studios Teesside was a British video game developer based in Teesside, England, United Kingdom. The company was founded in 1988 by brothers Darren and Jason Falcus as Optimus Software. In 1993, it was acquired by Iguana Entertainment and became Iguana Entertainment UK. Both were acquired by Acclaim Entertainment in 1995. Iguana UK was renamed Acclaim Studios Teesside in 1999.

Darren and Jason Falcus remained with the company until 2000, when they left to form Atomic Planet Entertainment. The studio was finally closed in 2002, with many staff being relocated to Acclaim Cheltenham.
