Favorite studios that no longer exist

[someotherguy]

Didn't see it on the front page, figured I'd ask.

Whose your favorite studio that no longer exists? Mine would be ensemble, atleast i'm pretty sure they no longer exist.

 

[Serenegoose]

Looking Glass.

 

[Worgen]

sierra, I know its technicly still around but they havent really been sierra in a long time
oh, and working designs

 

[Kevlar Eater]

989 Studios. I loved the Siphon Filter series.

 

[AmrasCalmacil]

Black Isle, definitely Black Isle.
No competition for me.

 

[AvsJoe]

Does Midway count? If so then them.

 

[AMCization]

Lucasart('s soul)

 

[Caradinist]

Westwood Studios (In a way).

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Troika. I wanted another Vampire the Masquerade god dammit!

 

[SimuLord]

PopTop (makers of Tropico and Railroad Tycoon 2)
MicroProse (although Firaxis is pretty much MP 2.0)

 

[Ubermetalhed]

Clover... although at least the remnants have formed Platinum games.

Also Free Radical, god dammit they were an awesome studio.

 

[Arqus_Zed]

Sacnoth (later Nautilus) - They made Koudelka and the Shadow Hearts trilogy. While I could go either way with Koudelka, and did not like the third Shadow Hearts at all, I still mourn the loss of this developer. After all, it gave us Shadow Hearts and Shadow Hearts: Covenant - two unique masterpieces.

Contrail - They made Legend of Legaia. I'm not really sure what happened to them.

Clover - But hey, at least we got Platinum Games now (I just wish they'd make a full-fledged Okami sequel for the PS3).

EDIT: dammit, ninja'd on the Clover.

Origin and Sierra

 

[Ken Sapp]

Ignore the double.

 

[spyro2103]

Pandemic, definitly. Loved all of their games that I played.

 

[Bobby Newmark]

Black Isle! *sob*

Black Isle! *sob*

Whoop, sorry 'bout that.

 

[Starke]

Black Isle, definitely Black Isle.
No competition for me.

Black Isle! *sob*

Troika. I wanted another Vampire the Masquerade god dammit!

Don't forget Arcanum 2.

Anyway, these two. Black Isle and Troika.

After that, Flagship and Iron Lore. Such potential getting shat upon from such height in both cases.
