Destruction Derby on PC. It was the first time I probably knew it was them. Played the likes of Lemmings prior but didn't pay attention to who released it.
I was on the QA team from 1990 to '92 so I had my hands on pretty much everything that came through the office during that time. After that I went into IT support so I was the sysop of the Psygnosis dev BBS and sysadmin of our SPARC servers and Silicon Graphics workstations.
Ha ha! That's a very accurate description of the Liverpool Psygnosis experience in the early 90s. Was very glad when one of the two directors imposed a smoking ban in the office as he was trying to give up himself :-)
What's funny is that I never even had this game. I had both Lemmings and Menace (and I loved both games, especially Lemmings), but Shadow of the Beast always felt like the epitome of Psygnosis games to me. Maybe it's because of the crazy logo fit so well with Shadow of the Beast stylistically.
(I lied. Of course. Psygnosis equals lots od great memories but first game that comes to mind, always is Shadow of the Beast. I just had to puy here that striking image of Martyn Chudley classic. Love tKGS!)
Lemmings. I sat staring at that loading screen for countless hours … Lemmings on Amiga is all I played for at least a year when I was younger, absolutely loved that game.
Other games have already been mentioned here so I'll go with Rollcage. Great game, amazing soundtrack, not developed by Psygnosis though but publishing counts too!
‘Let’s go!’ Lemmings time. Never has such cuteness and character been imbued in so few pixels. I (embarrassingly) used to refer to myself as the Lemmings Level Doctor at school when a lad of about 12. Sad but true!

Fun fact - I went for a job interview with Psygnosis at their Liverpool offices. But I landed the job at Rare first! 🙂
Left on a cliffhanger, too.
