History

[edit | edit source]

Founded by Brent Erickson in Utah in 1992.[1][2] In July 1994, the company moved from Utah to Lacey and at the time had 18 employees.[3] The firm produced musical scores used in network broadcast news shows and Entertainment Tonight.[4]

Bethesda Softworks acquired Flashpoint in July 1995 and rebranded it Media Technology West.[2][5] The studio was also referred to as MediaTech West and Bethesda West.[6][7] Erickson felt Bethesda shared his philosophy and subsequently became the company's development director.[1][8][9]

Under Bethesda, the studio developed the IHRA Drag Racing games.[7]
