Tradewest is a now-defunct American video game company based in Corsicana, Texas that produced numerous games in the 1980s and early 1990s. The company is best known as the publisher of the Battletoads and Double Dragon series in North America and the PAL region.
The Tradewest name was revived in August 2009 by Midway Games's former European subsidiaries which rebranded themselves as Tradewest Games. Midway Games has owned the Tradewest trademark since 1996.
Tradewest was founded in 1986 by John Rowe (former Executive Vice President, SNK Corp, Japan's U.S. subsidiary), Leland Cook (banker and rancher) and his son Byron Cook. Tradewest started out by manufacturing SNK's Ikari Warriors arcade game in the United States, along with "Victory Road, Alpha Mission and developed their own Redline Racer", John Elway's Quarterback and Ivan "ironman" Stewart's Super Off-Road, as the company would shift away from the coin-op arcade game business to concentrate on video games for home consoles.
