[edit] Game LIbrary
I've added a list of important Psygnosis games- needs to be organzied with platforms added....perhaps a chart?Jtascarella 02:52, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- A chart's not a bad idea, however they're usually just implemented as a list. — Frecklefoot | Talk 17:08, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Founders
Who were the founders? Several recent edits have changed these facts, mentioning David Lawson, Talbot Smith, Ian Hetherington and Jonathan Ellis, all as possible founders. According to this reference [1] the founders were Mark Butler and David Lawson from Bug-Byte. On the other hand [2] mentions Ian Hetherington as the founder, and the team including David Lawson, Eugene Evans, John Gibson, and Jake Glover. Richard W.M. Jones 09:34, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- The founders were Ian Hetherington and Jonathan Ellis. Ian managed development, while Jonathan dealt with the finances. Any others who you may have seen mentioned are people associated with Imagine, not Psygnosis, and although some worked for Psygnosis at one time or another (John Gibson was there for a number of years), they were not founders of the company.

[edit] Cover art
The article says Psygnosis cover art was by Yes artist Roger Dean. Well I have looked at the box of Ork and it says the cover art is by Richard Clifton-Dey. I have spotted the exact same picture on the cover of a sci-fi collection book. JIP | Talk 21:22, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Project X?!
Isn't this one perhaps a Team17 title? If so, then what is this doing in the Psygnosis games list?
[edit] Lemmings
I can't possibly imagine anyone remembering Psygnosis for their Lemmings series. I've previously changed the intro line to Shadow of the Beast which, without a shadow of a doubt, was the emblematic series of this company; but obviously someone is disagreeing by insisting on talking about Lemmings. Reducing Psygnosis to Lemmings is like reducing Team 17 to Worms or Steven Spielberg to Jurassic Park. There is something wrong in this biased reasoning. Commercial success and artistic highlights are two different things.
- Well, I've never heard of Shadow of the Beast, but I frittered away a large part of my life playing Lemmings ... Richard W.M. Jones 08:53, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
- I think you'll have to do a better job explaining why Shadow of the Beast is more 'emblematic'. Lemmings was clearly their biggest hit. It sold the most, was ported to basically every system imaginable, spawned several sequels (as well as clones by other companies), and was the game that launched Psygnosis into becoming a regular developer for platforme besides the Amiga. Lemmings also received huge critical acclaim, and still gets mentioned sometimes in various 'greatest games ever' lists. SubSeven 09:21, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
- I remember Psygnosis the most for the Wipeout series...a series that is still producing new titles 71.236.147.130 01:24, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
