Favourite lost game developer studios
A list of my favourite game developers that have been closed down, bought up or changed beyond recognition.
List items
-
1. Psygnosis Limited
Not always the greatest games gameplay wise, but always had their unique visual style and great music, especially the Amiga titles.
-
2. Looking Glass Studios, Inc.
From the beginning to their too early end, they created nothing but fantastic titles.
-
3. Origin Systems
Wing Commander, Ultima ... all lost within the great depths of EA.
-
4. Bullfrog Productions, Ltd.
Like Origin and Westwood, they were responsible for a lot of fantastic franchises, only to be devoured by EA in the mid 90's.
-
5. Sir-tech Software, Inc.
Wizardry and Jagged Alliance were such fantastic games. Both franchises kind of live on still, but Wizardry went on to become a series of obscure JRPG's that rarely get released over here.
-
6. Westwood Studios, Inc.
-
7. Pandemic Studios
-
8. Bizarre Creations
-
9. Krome Studios Melbourne
Former Beam Studios. Behind classic titles like KKND .. and Game Room.
-
10. Vision
My love for Vision Software is a bit odd, few of their games were particularly good, some even downright bad, but most of them had interesting ideas and every single one of them had music I'd put close to the top of "best video game soundtrack of all time" lists.
