The company also developed a number of NES[4] and PC[5] games, and claims to have developed for the Gamate, Super A'Can, Arcade, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance,[1][2] although it often acted as a contract developer for other companies so is frequently not credited in games it worked on.
