That is a shame :(

Psygnosis made some great cool games on Playstation !

I mean look at game lists on what they made

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCE_Studio_Liverpool

I used play

Lemmings
Barbarian 1 and 2(It was good laugh with 2 players!)
Blood Money(hard game!)
The Carl Lewis Challenge(good fun with 2 players)
Destruction Derby(so much fun!)
Formula 1 97(best F1 game on PS!)
Rollcage 1 and 2(so much fun!)
Shadow of the Beast 1, 2 and 3(SOTB 2 was hard and in fact, it took my mates to finished the game in 2 years n all he got was Crap ending! LOL Cool Graphics n Music!)
Wipeout(so much fun and it was cool game!)

I am sure that I have played other Psygnosis games too

Thanks for memories Psygnosis and you were Great  :)

We did The Ring Cycle for them when I was at Maelstrom when they were still Psygnosis.  It's a real shame and the end of a lustrous era.  I hope the staff there are able to find work.

Maybe they should think about crowdfunding and promoting a project on sites like http://www.kickstarter.com/ ... anyway - I played a lot of Psygnosis games and loved them!

End of an era.. I loved their games, especially the intros!

I wonder if Nzo reads this, he wrote the music for Blood Money back in the day...

Hey, long time no see :)

I got asked by some guys over at bitjam for permission to use some old music in a commemorative mix (nice of them)
Only remembered about this place when I got an invite to vote on the haloween competition!

Been busy making a mobile game (a reboot of super pipeline 2) for iOS / android lately.

Oh yea, and work stuff too :)

Psygnosis knew how to come up with refreshing ideas. Lemmings and Destruction Derby come to mind, but I'm sure there were many more innovations from the group.

I'm pretty sure that Reflections are still making games.
