Rockstar Toronto

Background
Rockstar Toronto is a Canadian video game developer and a studio of Rockstar Games based in Oakville, Ontario. The company was founded as Imageexcel in the early 1980s and developed several games such as Quarantine and its sequel Road Warrior, which was published by GameTek. In March 1995, the company was acquired by Alternative Reality Technologies, Inc. and probably became GameTek Canada.

After Take-Two Interactive Software purchased Alternative Reality Technologies, Inc. in 1997, the company became part of the Rockstar Games label and renamed to Rockstar Canada. Later in 2002, when Take-Two acquired Rockstar Vancouver, the company was renamed to the current name to avoid confusion with the newly-acquired label. In July 2012, Rockstar Vancouver was merged into this company.

The company was known for producing the 2005 video game, The Warriors, which is based on the 1979 film of the same name released by Paramount Pictures. It was also known for releasing PC ports of Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, Max Payne 3 and Grand Theft Auto V.
