History edit
UEP Systems' most critically acclaimed title is 1997's Cool Boarders 2 for the PlayStation, an early pioneering title of the "action sports" video game genre. The studio's biggest creative release was the quirky 3D action/adventure title Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman, the studio's only non-sports game, which received sub-par reviews but gained a small amount of cult appeal among gamers at the time. Despite the success of their early snowboarding titles, UEP struggled financially in the years that followed with a series of commercially unsuccessful games. After the release of Cool Boarders: Code Alien - another poor seller - for the PlayStation 2 in 2000, the studio disbanded in 2001.
