Codo Technologies is a video game developer that was founded by Julian Gollop and others, including brother Nick Gollop, continuing the line of sophisticated strategy war games started at their previous company Mythos Games. Julian is especially known for his role in the creation of the X-COM videogame series. So far, Codo Technologies has released two games: Laser Squad Nemesis, a PC turn based strictly tactical combat game and Rebelstar: Tactical Command, a Gameboy Advance turn based tactical role-playing game. They both involve fighting aliens and have in many ways the same feel as the previous X-COM games aside for a few important aspects that didn't make it such as base building, economics and technological research, and a few others that weren't in X-COM but were implemented such as the role-playing elements of Rebelstar.

It was designed by Julian Gollop and his team at Mythos Games (Now CodoTechnologies), published by Target, expanding on the ideas applied in their previous Rebelstar series of games.
More recently, the Laser Squad franchise has been revived by CodoTechnologies with both the play by email game Laser Squad Nemesis, although this departs from the turn based Action Point system and does not have customisable weaponry, and with the Gameboy Advance title Rebelstar: Tactical Command.
