I agree I also forgot how many great Australian produced games are out there. SSG (Strategic Simulation Games) with reach for the stars widely regarded as putting  4X games on the map, who also made Gold of the Americas, the Warlord games and Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel to name a few,then there is Pandemic with games like Star Wars Battlefront 1 and II - The Saboteur - Mercenaries 1 and 2 - Dark Reign - Full Spectrum Warrior -Destroy all humans. and I almost forgot my essential collection series copy of Battlezone II combat commander. 

Lets not forget Melbourne House/ Beam Software/ Khrome etc that gave to me my favourite Dreamcast racing game LeMan 24 hours - Shadowrun snes - The Hobbit and way of the exploding fist to name a few.

Medieval Total War II was iirc made in Queensland, it came to mind because I remember the editor of Hyper Australia's biggest selling multiformat game magazine left to go work on it for Creative assembly Australia. 

That's just a few Australian developers adding all those other games mentioned by our fellow VGCharters in the thread, and the many more that are invariably missed in endeavours like this increases our realisation of how many great games came out of here, so I will end by mentioning one of my favorite Australian produced games and that is irrational games Freedom Force.

Pandemic is, to my knowledge, American company.

Your right I'll  edited that out, mistaking Pandemic Brisbane with its parent company definitely means it's time to take my meds.

Looks like this is another miss for me, only ones I have are Warlords II and Fallout Tactics and I haven't actually played either. (Tactics as part of Fallout collection, it's in my backlog; technical problem to run Warlords.)
I thought I'd played something by SSG, but I must be confused with some other WWII strategy.

You may well have played something by SSG they made a lot of WWII strategy games

Classic Aussie prank; release a beloved game. Promise a sequel. Go radio silent for the next 6 years.



Meant to come back sooner, but I’m giving my vote to Golf Story. Nintendo partnered with the little indie dev Sidebar Games because they saw something that could be very valuable as a year one title for Switch. It’s a shame Sidebar Games couldn’t repeat the magic with Golf Story, but I’ll always be thankful to them for making Golf Story.

I was reminded recently that there’s going to be a playable Silksong demo in September not far from the convention centre where PAX AUS is hosted.
