Bullfrog Studios archives

Hmm. Mobygames should have plenty of information on games like Magic Carpet, Hi Octane, Theme Park, Syndicate etc.

 

Holy...
Wait,could that possibly mean that you have a Syndicate Wars Saturn alpha?:dance:

 

Bullfrog stuff's so old that all you can probably find are just old fansites and "shrines" for various franchises and/or games, with no forums... maybe a guestbook if you're lucky. Though, you're probably just likely to find simple mentions/reviews on sites like Hardcore Gaming 101 (actually, dunno if they even have any of the Theme games or something like Syndicate reviewed). Come to think of it... I seem to recall browsing a rather elaborate and content heavy Magic Carpet "shrine" at some point.


Certainly were some good franchises from Bullfrog that I miss today (Hi-octane, Syndicate and Magic Carpet being my personal favorites)

 

HG101 just covered the Syndicate games last week.

 

Bullfrogs games were some of the finest PC games of their time. Although I guess most of their communities are gone. Though again some of those beta's might be interesting.

 

syndacate all the way!

 

Populous the Beginning, does that count?

 

A year ago I still found an active Dungeon Keeper 2 community, with several patches to enable bumpmapping on non-Matrox cards and use higher resolutions etc...
Don't know if any of them are active now. Black & White tanked with the gaming crowd, and Populous 3 never got the cult following of the first parts, so by then Bullfrog was already dying.

Here is a Syndicate and Syndicate Wars fansite it's an amazing work!

 

I went for a job interview at bullfrog, when they were in Guildford. Seem to recall they were busy working on Flood (Amiga) at the time.

 

Sorry about the thread necromancy but there is a pretty active community over at Keeper Klan. It's mainly a Dungeon Keeper community, but we are all Bullfrog fans .

So if the offer still stands, and Dungeon Keeper 2 (or 1) is among them then I would be interested especially if there is debug information.

 

Now that is a coincidence! My older brother went for an interview there at the same time - for one reason or another we hooked up with the graphics artist who worked on flood sometime later and spent a day wandering around central london with him.

Flood was a great game and quite underrated at the time.

 

i really hope you found somthing theme park/theme park world related. Damn I love that stuff.

 

Oh man... I remember playing "Theme Park" all the time growing up! Memories...

 

Perhaps http://code.google.com/p/corsix-th/ is of interest then

EDIT: Meh its late and i should learn to read, but link is there for anyone interested

 

Thanks. I was actually interested on playing Theme Hospital again :thumbsup:

 

Oh, it definitely exists, trust me ;-)

 

No answer from Assembler yet
I believe you retro,although I doubt it's anything different from the PS version I'd really like to see it in action!

 

I don't know how it runs yet, but allegedly it was pretty much good to go. I'd imagine that it probably was very similar, yes.

From what I can gather, he doesn't have a copy, although I could be wrong.
