They went on to release several ''{{Terminator}}'' games, including one of the first fully-3D games, ''Skynet'' (released several months before ''VideoGame/{{Quake}}''), before continuing the ''Elder Scrolls'' series with ''Daggerfall'' in 1996. ''Daggerfall'' was notoriously buggy and commercially unsuccessful, and after releasing two equally unsuccessful spin-off games ''(TES Legends: Battlespire'' and ''TES Adventures: Redguard''), Bethesda was looking at bankruptcy.

Bethesda Game Studios, a subsidiary of [=ZeniMax=] Media, was founded in 1985 by Christopher Weaver in Bethesda, Maryland.

They had a hand in developing the first ''JohnMaddenFootball'' for EA in 1988 and developed a number of other licensed games (including ''HomeAlone''), but would not reach true success until the first game of ''VideoGame/TheElderScrolls'' series, ''[[TheElderScrollsArena Arena]]'', was released in 1994.

They went on to release several ''{{Terminator}}'' games, including one of the first fully-3D games, ''Skynet'' (released several months before ''VideoGame/{{Quake}}''), before continuing the ''Elder Scrolls'' series with ''Daggerfall'' in 1996. ''Daggerfall'' was notoriously buggy and commercially unsuccessful, and after releasing two equally unsuccessful spin-off games ''(TES Legends: Battlespire'' and ''TES Adventures: Redguard''), Bethesda was looking at bankruptcy.

Luckily, along came Zenimax Media with some big bags of cash. Since then, Bethesda has reached new heights of commercial and critical success, although its tendency to completely rebuild its games from the ground up with each sequel has created an incredibly BrokenBase.

Not to be confused with its sister company, Bethesda Softworks, which is the publishing apparatus for all the various Zenimax partners (like IdSoftware, ArkaneStudios and [[ShinjiMikami Tango Gameworks]]).
