Housemarque continued to work with one of the biggest publishers Infogrames to make a snowboarding game for the Microsoft's next generation console platform. The project was started in Summer 2000 and this was Housemarque first game for any consoles although the style of the games we have developed in the past have been more suitable for console than PC platforms. The change from PC to console was clearly a new direction for the company, although it was no that big a change when it comes to development. We had accumulated experience on making next generation 3D games and using C++ for development since 1998. This gave us an advantage for developing for next-generation consoles, because we are already accustomed for building the next generation 3D games. "Supreme Snowboarding"/"Boarder Zone" for PC was published by Infogrames worldwide. In Europe it was released in the late November 1999. Other regions followed the next year, including Japan in January and North America in March 2000. The game successfully has sold over 1,4 million units worldwide. Housemarque took an equity stake in a new company called Springtoys. The company was founded in December 1999 and the groundwork for the company was done at Housemarque during the autumn '99. The company later merged with Codeonline early 2002.
