Gaelco S.A. is a Spanish video game development studio. It was founded in Barcelona, Spain by Josep Quingles, Luis Jonama, and Javier Valero. The name of the company is the shortening of Gabinete Electrónico Consultivo (Electronic Consulting Cabinets). The company developed several arcade games throughout the 90s. However, in 2005, the company saw fit to cease production on arcade games, and the company started developing for the PC for a short time. In October 2001, the company started Gaelco Móviles S.L. (Gaelco Mobile), which focused on developing games for mobile phones. In 2007, the company ceased video game development altogether and instead started producing darts machines under the name Gaelco Darts. In July 2008, the company was acquired by Player X.
