Developer Funcom Celebrates 25 Years

Funcom is celebrating 25 years of making games. They have done pixel platformers on the Super Nintendo and SEGA Genesis (including Pocahontas, Casper, and Winter Gold). And racing games such as Speed Freaks for the PlayStation 1 and Racing Impact for the SEGA Saturn. Funcom made three major PC massively multiplayer online games where they pioneered new gameplay mechanics such as auto-generated dungeons (Anarchy Online), dynamic combat (Age of Conan), and investigation missions (Secret World Legends). And they did The Longest Journey, one of the most critically acclaimed adventure games of all time.

To celebrate, Funcom has made a video showing all the great games they created since their first day back in March of 1993

John Breeden II
John has spent his journalism career covering just about everything, from small-town meetings and crime scenes to Capitol Hill and the U.S. Congress. He got his start writing about games and technology with a computer column called On the Chip Side, which grew to more than 1 million in circulation and ran in newspapers across several states. Today, John is an award-winning journalist with more than 25 years of experience. His work has appeared in The Washington Post, Newsweek and many other publications, and he writes a regular technology and government column for Nextgov/FCW and hosts security and educational webinars for FedInsider. He is also the founder of the Tech Writers Bureau and the chief editor of GameIndustry.com. He still loves disappearing into games, whether that means crawling through Baldur’s Gate dungeons deep into the night or planning one more big offensive in the latest wargame.
