One of the first reusable game engines came from an unexpected quarter: a group of British software engineers working in the research arm of a Japanese camera company. You've probably seen their work without knowing it, and if it weren't for their engine, the PS2's game library would look a lot more barren.
14/11: Apologies for the blurring on parts of the video. RU-vid told me that I needed to anonymise somebody who appeared, but didn't identify which part was the issue! I had to use their automated tool to blur every detected face that wasn't pertinent to the story. I still don't know if that's enough, but if you're still in this video and don't want to be, please email me: retrohistories@gmail.com, and I'll fix it.
