Perception Pty

Perception Pty Ltd was a media entertainment company working in the games, film and television industry.

History
Perception was founded in 1995, and began as an animation and sound house, contracting its services to various companies and working with such publishers as Electronic Arts "EA Sports" brand and Intel. As well as programming and graphics teams, Perception also has its own in house sound recording studio.

The company began developing its own products in the Coin-Op market in 1998, producing titles such as Thunderboats and Top Down Racer, handling all areas of production and testing in house. More recently, the Perception team had set its sights on the home console and PC market.

Digital and Voice Media approached Perception in 2006 to negotiate a take-over, but the deal fell through a few months later.

In November 2007, Perception announced that they were suing their former publisher (MGM) for damages. They most likely lost. Citation needed
