The original business started out as a recording studio and cassette duplication service which moved into video game publishing from the late 1970s onwards.

Terry Clark recently performed (February 2008 JonesFest) a song about the studio at a tribute concert for Garry Jones at the South Street centre in Reading.

Audiogenic published software successfully in the UK, but a decision to diversify by importing peripherals, notably the Koala Pad and the Entrepo Quick Data Drive (a continuous loop storage device for the Commodore 64) contributed to a decline in profitability which led to the company ceasing to trade in 1985.

At this time the company employed Darryl Still, who produced a number of successful releases for the BBC Micro, such as Psycastria and Thunderstruck, written by former members of the Icon Software team in North East England.

Maynard left the board in 1987 and Still went on to manage the launch of the Atari ST, Lynx handheld and Jaguar consoles in Europe, before stints with Electronic Arts and Nvidia.

Other titles included Exterminator (a coin-op conversion), Helter Skelter, Impact, Krusty's Fun House, Bubble & Squeak, Exile, and Loopz.
