Flashpoint Productions, Inc. was a video game developer based in Olympia, Washington.

History

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

Bethesda Softworks acquired Flashpoint in July 1995 and rebranded it Media Technology West. The studio was also referred to as MediaTech West and Bethesda West. Erickson felt Bethesda shared his philosophy and subsequently became the company's development director.

Under Bethesda, the studio developed the IHRA Drag Racing games.
