Psygnosis
| Founded by Jonathan Ellis, Ian Hetherington and David Lawson, the Liverpool-based Psygnosis was indirectly born from the ashes of the defunct 8-bit game company Imagine Software, where Lawson was one of the founders and Hetherington was Financial Director. After the collapse of Imagine in 1984, the name and trademarks were bought by Ocean Software, while the rights of the software remained with original copyright owners. After Imagine, Lawson and Hetherington set up a new company called Finchspeed which took two unfinished games developed by Imagine, Bandersnatch (for the ZX Spectrum) and Psyclapse (for the Commodore 64), and fused them into one to become Brataccas, the first game published by Psygnosis. Although Psygnosis primarily became a game publisher, some games were developed fully or partly in-house. |
