History
UDS was a video game development company founded in 1993 by Michael Brunnström and Peter Zetterberg. Their first game was Obsession, a pinball game for the Atari ST released in 1994 (later ported to the Amiga). In 1995 they released their second game, Substation for the Atari STE, a first-person shooter similar to Doom. Since then they became a developer for video game consoles and PC compatibles.
In 2000, the company purchased King of the Jungle, based out of London, which developed games such as Grooverider: Slot Car Thunder and Invasion from Beyond.
In 2004, UDS was shut down, most likely due to a number of unsuccessful games that were released.
