DarXabre was a Dutch video game development company led by the Dutch/Canadian Jason Garber. The company was founded in 2001 and had a sales office in Amsterdam and a development studio in Berlin.[1] The company gained worldwide fame in 2001 with the controversial game Hooligans: Storm Over Europe, a strategy game with the objective to become the most popular group of football hooligans in Europe. Despite the controversy, much media attention and a bestseller status in the Netherlands and Belgium,[2] the game failed to find similar success in other markets. The developer also failed to find a publisher in many regions.[3]
In 2011 DarXabre - still led by Garber – made a brief and unsuccessful comeback as a developer of apps for the iPhone and iPad. In 2011 it released two app games for iOS: Banana Banzai[4] (a colorful platform game) and Das Haus Anubis - Die Rache der Spinx (based on the children's series House of Anubis and developed for MTV Networks Germany).
