Psygnosis
Game company
Psygnosis started as video game developer and publisher for home computers in the mid 80s. They became one of the main publishers for the Commodore Amiga, and enjoyed a great deal of success with the Shadow of the Beast games and the breakthrough hit game Lemmings in 1991.
In 1993 it was acquired by Sony Electronic Publishing with the goal of creating original games for their soon to be released PlayStation console platform. This lead to great success for both Sony and Psygnosis, with WipEout and Destruction Derby being some of their key franchises. In 2000 during some restructuring by Sony, the Psygnosis brand was killed and their main headquarters became Studio Liverpool while other Psygnosis studios were either shutdown or rebranded under different names.
