Frog City Software was a computer game developing company which focused on strategy games, openned in 1995. Frog City Software was a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive until they closed it in 2006.

The company was founded by the brothers Bill Spieth, Ted Spieth and by Rachel Bernstein.¹²

In 2004 Frog City was bought by Gathering, which was itself bought by Take 2 Interactive in 2005.³

Frog City was shut down in 2006, it was the fourth game development studio to be shut down by Take-Two Interactive during that year.⁴ On April of that year, veterans of Frog City including the founders Ted Spieth, Bill Spieth and Rachel Bernstein⁵ started a new game development studio called Sidecar Studios.⁶

Sidecar Studios's website however doesn't offer information on which games if any are being developed, it also doesn't inform about the company's future plans.⁷ Making matters worse, since 2006 the website has not been updated.⁸
