Game Park was a company founded in South Korea in 1996 that specialized in the manufacture of portable video game systems. The only products are the GP32 , a handheld with an open integrated development environment, and the GP2X , the successor to the GP32. In 2005, a large number of employees split off and founded Gamepark Holdings . The reason for the split were discrepancies in the development of the GP32 successor. The company saw itself as a pioneer in the multimedia sector and relies on the open source philosophy. In 2007 the company went bankrupt.
