- Not to be confused with Gremlin Graphics.
Gremlin Industries was an American arcade game developer and manufacturer who manufactured wall games in the early 1970s before switching to video games starting 1976. In 1979, they were purchased by Sega, and started releasing games with joint branding, first as Gremlin/Sega, then as Sega/Gremlin.
To avoid confusion, they changed their name to Sega Electronics in 1982, around which time they also started producing games for home systems. This would not last; the company was shut down in early 1984 and its manufacturing assets transferred to Paramount Studios.
