Where was Bethesda Softworks original headquarters before moving to Rockville

Off-topic, just a quick question really. Exact address if possible. Where was the original office headquarters of Bethesda Softworks and Bethesda Game Studios before they relocated to Rockville, Maryland? Please include in a reply. Many thanks in advance. Why am I asking? It’s for my game studios map showcasing the old locations and the new locations of the game studios.

Also, it didn’t mention the company address on the Bethesda Ruins page here on Fallout Independent Wiki.


Comments

The Appalachian - 27/06/2021

The company relocated to Rockville in 1990, and Fallout 1 and 2 released in 1997 and 1998 so they use the new address. I did find a correspondence address in the manual of Wayne Gretzky Hockey, the first game made by Bethesda Softworks released before 1990, but it's a P.O. Box.

Bethesda Softworks
P.O. Box 7877
Gaithersburg, Maryland 20898
