You’ve never heard of Psygnosis? Man, I’m getting old They eventually became Sony Studios Liverpool when Sony bought them up from the success of Wipeout.

But before that they were best known for publishing many stunning games, such as the classic Agony (Amiga, by Art & Magic), Lemmings by DMA Designs, Shadow of the Beast by Reflections and so on.

Pong may well be the first commercial home video game, but in typical Wikipedia fashion, it was far from the first. The first commercial video game, period, was the infamous Computer Space arcade game by Nutting Associates in 1971.

Pong, wasn’t even the first Pong game. That honour goes to William Higinbotham and Robert Dvorak, with Tennis for Two, using an oscilloscope as the screen during an open day at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1958.

If I remember correctly, aside from experimenting in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s, the first actual interactive video game was Alexander Douglas’s OXO from 1952.


If you want a bit more detail, have a read of an article I wrote on Pong, it has a lot more detail of the early history of video games.

I used to love driving past the Psygnosis building as a kid, they used to have the big owl head sign, would've been just around the PS1 release before they were folded into Sony, I do feel like the UK has been letting things slide over the last few yers in terms of creating games, but I guess that all the globalisation going on, all the best talent gets sucked up by EA to be worker #2432 on FIFA 2021 or shipped off to California to work for google making advertising AI, lets face it gaming as a whole has suffered over the last few years from dwindling charm, most games released at this point feel like corporate projects built by an army of developers to hit certain quota of "fun" to justify being able to pack in as much monetisation as possible

but I guess thats also a side effect of consumers expecting more, a one man band can hardly be expected to churn out a massive open world adventure with amazing story and 3D modelling and 4k textures, but in all the super high detail we have lost a little something and I miss that, I guess thats why we have breakout indie successes like undertale managing to capture some of that charm

You know how to tell if a game was made in the UK? Drops of water hurt your character.

dodging the rain is a traditional UK pastime

but its funny you mention that, it's probably just that people in the UK when they think "hmmm what's an obstacle I can use?" they probably just default to "oh the damn rain on the way to the office, thats an annoying obstacle to avoid"
