NeoPong Software, based in Knoxville, Tennessee, was founded by Robert Dean, Charles Galyon and Eric Stamm around 2002 to 2003. While its independently developed Nintendo Game Boy Advance game World Reborn never made it to the shops, it served as the catalyst to bring the company contract work with Gorilla Systems in the hand-held market. The company did programming and audio contract work for Gorilla Systems on six Nintendo Game Boy Advance games and two Nintendo DS games. In March 2007, just as business seemed to be going well for NeoPong, business relations broke down due. NeoPong continued to operate with a reduced staff for another month, holding on to a single development contract with an unnamed publisher, while also developing software for the Nintendo Wii in hopes of expanding their area of development. Finding that its last development contract was breaking down due to lack of funds NeoPong decided to cease trading in April, 2007.
