After developing the fourth Crash Bandicoot game (Crash Team Racing), the company began working on Jak and Daxter for PlayStation 2. The entire Jak and Daxter series is written in Andy Gavin's proprietary variant of the Lisp programming language called GOAL (Game Oriented Assembly Lisp).

Early history Naughty Dog's origins go back to 1986, when the company was named "JAM". Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin, who were 16 years old at the time, had their first commercial game published: Ski Crazed for the 8-bit Apple II series. Two years later they moved up to writing software for the then next-generation Apple IIGS with the game Dream Zone, which was popular enough to be ported to several other platforms. By 1989, they wrote Keef the Thief for the Apple IIGS and with that title, officially changed the company's name to Naughty Dog. The Apple II was one of the most popular personal computers of the 1980s. ...

Moving away from the Apple II series, in the early 1990's Naughty Dog began writing software for game consoles such as the Sega Genesis and 3DO, and by the mid 90's, migrated to the PlayStation, which is where the company gained its widest recognization and fame. The Mega Drive/Genesis was a 16-bit video game console released by Sega in Japan (1988), Europe (1990) and most of the rest of the world as the Mega Drive. ...

Associates Since working together in the same building on the Universal Studios backlot, Naughty Dog and Insomniac Games have had a close relationship. Producer Mark Cerny has worked extensively with (and influenced) both companies. They have historically made similar style games, which sometimes contain references to each other (look at the some of the city walls in Jak II or check out the start-up menu in Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando). Also, Insomniac's Ratchet and Clank series uses a heavily modified version of the engine used in Naughty Dog's Jak and Daxter games. There are even recent releases that feature both Crash and Spyro characters (Note: these were developed by Universal, however). Because of their friendship, many fans wondered if the two companies would collaborate on a game. However they have, in the past, publicly stated that they don't have plans for making a game together. Insomniac Games is an American video game developer. ...
