Which GBA companies are based in the UK?

I have worked on fruit machines, arcade machines, PSX, GBA for smnall companies and wish to work more on GBA, but am unsure who is in the UK?

Haha, i used to walk past every morning on the way to my van-driving/warehouse job and dream of working at acclaim. Now i just take a different route to work. :/

Hadn't realised they moved out though(?).
Will take a peek and see if they are there if i'm going past, or delivering to dukes92.

Yikes! Good luck. The only reason I'd start a game company today is to be bought out by a bigger company and make some bucks. WIth all the consolidation going on right now, the little guys are really getting squeezed. I'll invest in Real Estate for a bit instead. A bit more hands off :)

haha, i know what you mean!

i am thinking about it - i may just stick to doing games at home etc and trying to get them published and then worry bout a bigger business
