Last night, I noticed for the first time the copyright screen on George Foreman's KO Boxing and saw that it said, "Programmed by Sims Co., Ltd." Can I assume then that James "Buster" Douglas Knockout Boxing and Heavyweight Champ were also done by them?

Also, are Sanritsu and SIMS the same company?

Sanritsu and SIMS share a manufacturer code for Game Gear games, but I can't find any useful information about them being linked (apart from my own page mentioning it...).

Looking closely, I have a suspicion that Gain Ground, E-SWAT, and Golden Axe Warrior may have been done by SIMS as well (the music in all three was done by "Tarnya", BTW).

Some further developments, courtesy of much ROM searching and other detective work...It's like putting together the pieces of a very frustrating jigsaw puzzle...and I lost the box...

Read on and see how the names criss-cross:

I see my investigative work is falling on deaf ears (or blind eyes). But I can crack this with or without you...

According to Moby Games Aerial Assault has the following credits:

Nonchan S. Kawa is also listed as the Programmer for Alien Storm.

Hmmm...Nonchan S. Kawa would imply that Nonchan and Kawa are the same, but the credits for James "Buster" Douglas Knockout Boxing/Heavyweight Champ list them separately. Aerial Assualt credits Tommy and Kou Arai, but Alien Storm credits Tommy Arai.

I remember the credits in Aerial Assault simply saying "Ippo," which would refer to Izuho Takeuchi, who I thought was a Sega employee. Maybe he was a freelancer...

That "All Members" credit is another tipoff Aerial Assault was a SIMS game. It was also used in James "Buster" Douglas Knockout Boxing/Heavyweight Champ/George Foreman's KO Boxing. The moniker is also used in Alien Storm.

It might be safe to say Tecmo World Cup '93 is a SIMS game...

Tecmo World Cup '93 - - - - -

Program S Kawa
Sound Nasubi
Sound Nishino
Sound Fumi

Nishino is also credited with George Foreman's KO Boxing, which we know was done by SIMS. Nasubi is also credited with Scratch Golf (which we know was done by SIMS), Air Rescue, and Master of Darkness. Fumi is credited with Master of Darkness, Air Rescue, and Ninja Gaiden. SIMS did the Genesis/Mega Drive incarnations of Tecmo World Cup, but none of the people on the SMS version worked on those (well, at least TWC '92).

Inspired by a thread about R-Type by Compile, I decided to disassemble the games and look at the code:

Let's do some analysis and separate these games into groups...

Group 1
The code samples provided for these are most similar to the code sample provided for George Foreman's KO Boxing (developed by SIMS):

Master of Darkness
Tecmo World Cup '93
Ninja Gaiden
Air Rescue
Dynamite Duke
Aerial Assault
Alien Storm
Line of Fire
Gain Ground
Bonanza Bros.
Wimbledon
Wimbledon II
Buggy Run

These are the most likely candidates for having been developed for Sega by Sanritsu/SIMS.

Group 2
These games have similar code within the first several lines, but the rest of the sample provided shows little in similarity. They do show high similarity to each other, however.

E-SWAT
Assault City
Bomber Raid
Wanted
Slap Shot
Golfamania
Golden Axe Warrior
Tennis Ace

Group 3
These games show similarities to each other, but show less similarities with Groups 1 and 2. It has been established these games use the same sound engine.

Double Hawk
Cloud Master

It has been established that Double Hawk shares staff members with games in Group 2.

For the most part, the groups fall in line with the staff members who worked on it. But it may not be enough to draw an accurate conclusion, unless someone would like to give some sort of...I don't know...input here. Unless we can get confirmation from SIMS themselves, it seems we never know 100%.

What "gums up the works" is the Game gear games Sanritsu and SIMS did in fact produce:

These aren't really similar to any of the other games.

My CloneSpy analysis might help you in your quest for evidence, although it's easy to find plenty of false positives.

Beware that the first 100 bytes or so of almost every SMS/GG rom will look pretty similar, and we don't know how much code Sega gave to developers which they'd re-use.

Hmmm... I already suspected Asterix was related to Land of Illusion, but it's kinda strange Castle of illusion isn't included as another clone. I wasn't surprised to see Coca Cola Kid as a Sonic Chaos/Sonic Triple Trouble clone, either. =|

Anyway, can you please upload those versions of CloneSpy and ListSpy somewhere? I can't seem to find them anywhere, and the old versions don't want to work on my computer...

Not a big help, but thank you. Buster Douglas, Heavyweight Champ, and George Foreman are grouped together. Air Rescue is grouped with Aladdin (and looking at it, it may be another SIMS game). Line of Fire is grouped with Dynamite Duke. Ninja Gaiden and Master of Darkness are grouped with a bunch of Sega games. Slap Shot and Tennis Ace are grouped together. E-SWAT, Assault City, and Wanted are grouped together. Wimbledon and Wimbledon II are together. Tecmo World Cup '93 is grouped with Tengen World Cup Soccer and J League Soccer World Eleven for the Game Gear. Any other game is listed separately.

On the subject of Tecmo World Cup '93, it looks like it was released for the Game Gear as Tengen World Cup Soccer (there's no ROM available to confirm this). Development of that version is credited to SIMS. So now let's look at the staff that worked on TWC'93: "Nasubi," "Fumi," and "S. Kawa." Does this mean that Aladdin, Air Rescue, Master of Darkness, and Ninja Gaiden are SIMS games?

Aladdin is now a "Group 1" game.

Group 1
The code samples provided for these are most similar to the code sample provided for George Foreman's KO Boxing (developed by SIMS):

Master of Darkness
Tecmo World Cup '93
Ninja Gaiden
Air Rescue
Dynamite Duke
Aerial Assault
Alien Storm
Line of Fire
Gain Ground
Bonanza Bros.
Wimbledon
Wimbledon II
Buggy Run
Aladdin

These are the most likely candidates for having been developed for Sega by Sanritsu/SIMS.

- Interesting thing I found out. The Air Rescue credits give special thanks to Mikiyo Ohno, Azusa Senou, Erika Haneda, Rieko Miura and Maki Miyamae. It turns out these were members of some J-Pop girl group called Coco that was popular at the time (the credits also say "Presented by Coco since 1989").

- Psychic World might be a SIMS game:

- Now, look at these credits from Tengen World Cup Soccer:

Plan Enjyoh
Design Enjyoh
Sound Nishino, Crush X, Nasubi, Fumi
Thanks S. Kawa, T. Asano

Crush X worked on Scratch Golf (GG)

As it turns out, Kick & Rush (Japanese Game Gear), Tecmo World Cup '93 (Master System), and Tengen World Cup Soccer (Overseas Game Gear) are all basically the same soccer game. Like I said before, development of the GG versions is credited to SIMS (not to mention there's the copyright, the "Presented by SIMS" credit, and the fact they published the Japanese version). That indicates that the SMS version is a SIMS game, naturally. Given the staff on these SIMS games, I have concluded that the following SMS games are also Sanritsu/SIMS games: Air Rescue, Disney's Aladdin, and Master of Darkness. I have gone so far as to submit that info to video game database site Video Game Rebirth (vgrebirth.org). This is the word of the Lord...

This is SOOOOOOOOO confusing!

- If you look at the cover scans for the SMS versions of Bank Panic on this site, you'll see a copyright to Sanritsu Denki Co., Ltd. Doing a search, I found that there still was a company called Sanritsu Denki Co., Ltd. A Babelfish online translation of their company profile brings up the words "game equipment" and "software," but you probably know how online translators can be.

Later, I did a search at the U.S. Copyright Office site and up with one game, Bank Panic, came up with Sanritsu Denki as the "Author on Copyright Application" Two other games also came up, but with "Sanritsu Electronics Co., Ltd." as the "Claimant."

So are Sanritsu Denki and Sanritsu Electronics the same company? There's enough proof that SIMS was once Sanritsu (the Game Gear item numbers). Was SIMS the game division of Sanritsu (whichever Sanritsu that was as there's about 100 companies with that name in Japan) that at some point broke off?

- A search of the Famicom version of Alien Syndrome turns up the name Noboru Machida as the programmer. The game also has copyrights to Sunsoft and Sanritsu. Which one developed it?

Why do I bring up Machida-san? Well, according to SIMS' online company profile, Machida-san, who apparently had worked at Sega AM2, bought 70% of the company. Could Machida-san be "Machida" from George Foreman's KO Boxing? Or maybe he's Noburunrun or Noborin mentioned in several of the games above? Probably not...

The profile also mentions the company was started on June 12th, 1991.

- According to this, "denki" literally means "electricity". It can also mean "electric" and "electronics". So Sanritsu Electronics and Sanritsu Denki could very well be the same company. Hey, what are the chances that two companies named Sanritsu made video games and polarizers for use in liquid crystal display devices (see here and here).

- Now that we've established that Sanritsu Electronics and Sanritsu Denki were probably the same company, were "they" the same company as the home publisher that gave us Fantasy Zone Gear? Well, a flyer for a Sanritsu arcade mahjong game called Jantotsu (here) and the back cover of Fatman for the Japanese Mega Drive (published by Sanritsu) (here) have the same phone number, if that means anything. Also, some sites such as GameFAQs refer to Sanritsu Denki as the publisher of Fatman (MD) and Peppar Time (FC), both of which use the "Sanritsu" name and logo.

- Now we must establish if the Sanritsu Denki behind Bank Panic is the same as the Sanritsu Denki of today. I e-mailed an inquiry, but it was in English, so I probably won't get a reply. Even if it was in Japanese, I still probably wouldn't get one. But they make/made electronic products, so it's very likely. If that is the case, then "Sanritsu" did not become SIMS. SIMS somehow spun off or broke off from Sanritsu Denki. Perhaps SD decided to get out of the video game business and sold off their game division?

- I'm still wondering if Machida, programmer of George Foreman's KO Boxing, is the same guy as Noboru Machida, the programmer on NES/Famicom Alien Syndrome? Is it any coincidence that a Noboru Machida, of Sega apparently, owns 70% of SIMS (the top of their company outline actually implies he bought out the whole company)?

I'm at work now, so I can't delve into all your delicious details right now, but I'll just add some notes.

In Japanese game credits, graphics are often called "design", which is an entirely different profession in the rest of the game developing world.

I think that all this should rather be collected in a spreadsheet for easier organisation.

This all really needs to be tied up with the other Project people have mentioned that records the end game credits so these can also be incorporated.

It appears Mobygames.com already has some of this information recorded.

I think Cyborg Hunter is a Sega game. According to this page, "Judy Totoya" (aka Yasushi Yamaguchi) was the original designer of Tails for the Sonic games and worked on Sonic CD as a Special Stage designer.

The last set of credits is from Forgotten Worlds, right?

And thanks for the rest of the credits. What I posted were just certain "credits of note". I really should have posted the whole thing. Regardless, I think we can now safely say Tom & Jerry, Masters of Combat, and Putt & Putter are SIMS games. They crossed my mind, but I never bothered checking.

Right, I've edited my post accordingly.

Don't know why I never posted these before. The game was mentioned in the R-Type by Compile thread. Here are the credits from Kikiippatsu Mayumi-chan, an arcade mahjong game published by Victory and developed by Sanritsu:

Too bad this isn't as organized as my Aspect thread.

- Anyway, we have two new Sega "8-Bit" SIMS games. Not much detective work as they actually mention SIMS in the credits. Anyway, here's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (GG) and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (GG)...

Notice "K. Arai" in the previous credits. I believe this could be Kou Arai, who could have also gone under the names "Arai," "Kou," and "Kouchan." BTW, Kou Arai went on to work on Xenosaga.

- In recent days, I determined that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, OutRun, and Dynamite Duke for the Gen/MD were done by Sanritsu/SIMS.

- Anybody want to take a guess at when in 1991 G-LOC for the SMS came out? It's important I know in order to determine whether it was done under Sanritsu or SIMS.

- Beating Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (G/MD), I found that "K. Arai" is "Kengo Arai", not "Kou Arai".

- GREAT FIND! I took a swing by the Internet Archive to see if there were any old SIMS websites archived. I found one from 1998 (and one from later with an updated Saturn list) that has lists and pictures of their old Sega stuff, except the SMS (but they do have the GG). Unfortunately, there's more pictured than listed, and I can't make out everything in the pictures:

Game Gear:

Genesis/Mega Drive:

Saturn:

Here's what I've figured out from the lists and pictures thus far:

- Looking at Gen/MD Wimbledon, I'm thinking the SMS/GG games were done by SIMS, too.

In light of these credits, I've determined Gain Ground, Ninja Gaiden, and Bonanza Brothers are Sanritsu/SIMS games.

- Looking at the circa 1997-98 company profile, Noboru Machida was heading up the company, in addition to his duties at Sega. Actually, it seems all the major people at SIMS were also working at Sega. Sega, at the time, owned 100% of the company. I guess Machida-san bought back most, or all, of the company last year (see earlier post on Machida).

- Again, I ask for your help in identifying when the following games came out in 1991: Bonanza Brothers, Psychic World, G-LOC Air Battle. Remember that SIMS was established in 1991. Before that, it was part of Sanritsu. I need to properly credit these.

Don't forget the Crayon Shin Chan game for MegaDrive, which is plugged to the console in that pic (the one with the yellow cover).

Here's brightened and enlarged versions of the Mega Drive and game gear pics. The games highlighted (without an X through it) still need to be identified.

Because of the transparency, you might want to open them in another program or on a dark background of some kind.

There's a lot of credits. Most of them are probably from Sega of America. You can pick out the SIMS ones yourself.

In light of these credits, I have determined Aerial Assault, Alien Storm, and Forgotten Worlds are Sanritsu/SIMS games.

And one more comment...Shouldn't it be spelled "McDonald's", not "Mac Donald" (in reference to "Mac Donald: Ronald in the Magical World")?

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Sanritsu:
Game label/division for Japanese electrical firm Sanritsu-Denki Co., Ltd.

SIMS:
SIMS was established on June 12, 1991 as a joint venture of Sanritsu-Denki and Sega. About 50 employees came over from Sanritsu. Sega eventually bought out Sanritsu's share and made the company a subsidiary. That came to an end, however, when SIMS President Noboru Machida took over all the stock from the veteran game maker on June 25, 2004. SIMS stands for "Soft development Innovation Multi Success"

Updated October 21, 2005

* Determining the developer of many titles released in 1991 is slightly more difficult since SIMS was formed in June of that year. The best that can be done is look at the release date and figure out how long the game would have taken to develop. What is on the list currently may not be correct.

Information for this list was gathered from a number of sources: code, in-game credits, e-mails to various people, posting on various boards, Google searches, looking at graphics/listening to in-game music and using intuition, the current SIMS website, previous versions of the SIMS website at the Internet Archive, and the Developer Table website.

This list is not 100% guaranteed accurate. The extent of SIMS' involvement in some titles could be called into question. List is subject to change at any time without notice. The latest version can be found posted at the SMSPower.org Forums.

And one more comment...Shouldn't it be spelled "McDonald's", not "Mac Donald" (in reference to "Mac Donald: Ronald in the Magical World")?

You are right. This game is still one in line for proper naming.

The official Japanese name seems to be "Donald no Magical World" (no reference to Mc Donald's). But Sega's Segahard listing (note: which are sometimes incorrect, I suspect they got various info from the web in addition to their own data) says "McDonald - Donald no Magical World".

Now the confusing part is that although AFAIK the game was not released outside of Japan, it has an english title screen: "Ronald in the Magical World". I'm never sure how to handle those cases (at least in MEKA) with a known english title screen but no release.

Bock, do you happen to have any of the unreleased (on SMS Power) Game Gear ROMs (I think it's just the dodgeball game and two soccer games)? Would it be possible for you to just search them for credits (open it up in Notepad, search for "pro")? If you can't, that's fine. No big deal. I just thought I would ask.

As far as I know, the only unreleased in the list is Kick & Rush? I also have a Japanese build of Fred Couples Golf. I'll send you everything by e-mail.
(Honoo no Tokyuuji Dodge Danpei is already out.)

Thanks a lot for your help.

I didn't realize "Honoo" was released. I couldn't find it. Another game I couldn't find was "J-League GG Pro Striker '94". Was that released?

Now for some history:

Sanritsu - SIMS was formed in June 1991 as a joint venture between Sega and Sanritsu Denki. The last game released under the Sanritsu label was Fantasy Zone Gear.

SIMS - SIMS stands for "Soft development Innovation Multi Success". They did 30 or more Game Gear games, nearly 20% of the library. Sega eventually bought out the whole company, making it a subsidiary. That came to an end in 2004.

EDIT: It turns out G-LOC for the G/MD was by Probe. They were probably referring to the SMS version. That could be the case for Alien Storm, Bonanza Bros., and Shadow Dancer. So tentatively, they are off the list.

Thank you. Anybody know anything about Combat Hawk? It's not emulated by MAME and there's no pictures online.

The only info I was able to find was that it's one of those games you play with a gun, and that it's a "most wanted" dump...

EDIT: Hey, I've just found out that it was a sequel to Bank Panic. Now this is getting interesting.

I fired off an e-mail to SIMS about their Sega games and got a rather quick reply.

Taro Nakagawa (Pitekan) wrote

Hello,
Thank you for your mail.
SIMS developed a lot of game software. However,
they are all the titles of Sega. Therefore, it is not possible to tell it.
(I don't understand well because there is no old developer at all in reality. )
I am sorry.Thank you.

I guess since they're Sega's games, they can't disclose them, even in an e-mail. And that "old developer" line must mean that the staff working at SIMS at the time no longer works there. Oh well, I tried...

If Body Slam/Dump Matsumoto (Arcade) was really done by Sanritsu, I have a strong suspicion that Alien Syndrome (Arcade) was also done by Sanritsu. Not only does there seem to be a strong resemblance in graphics and sound, but the service menu works the same. It might explain why they did the NES/FC and GG versions.

I thought Sanritsu-Denki, the video game company, and this Sanritsu-Denki were the same. But now that's in doubt. When sites refer to Sanritsu-Denki the game company, they use these characters - サンリツ電気. But at the "other" Sanritsu-Denki site, they spell their name with these characters - 三立電機株式会社.

I have also seen references to arcade games by 三立技研 (Sanritsu giken), which is also a company in engineering/manufacturing business.

Though there apparently is a "Sanritsu Giken," everything I've come across refers to Sanritsu Denki or, according to online translations, Sanritsu Electric (Babelfish says giken means "engineering and research"). And BTW, Sanritsu's game boxes also use "サンリツ電気".

In other news, I posted about arcade Alien Syndrome over at the System16.com Boards. Turns out it was done by Sanritsu, along with Sunsoft...

Can I assume then that James "Buster" Douglas Knockout Boxing and Heavyweight Champ were also done by them? Also, are Sanritsu and SIMS the same company?

	Sanritsu and SIMS share a manufacturer code for Game Gear games, but I can't find any useful information about them being linked (apart from my own page mentioning it...).

Kawa would imply that Nonchan and Kawa are the same, but the credits for James "Buster" Douglas Knockout Boxing/Heavyweight Champ list them separately. Aerial Assualt credits Tommy and Kou Arai, but Alien Storm credits Tommy Arai. I remember the credits in Aerial Assault simply saying "Ippo," which would refer to Izuho Takeuchi, who I thought was a Sega employee. Maybe he was a freelancer... That "All Members" credit is another tipoff Aerial Assault was a SIMS game. It was also used in James "Buster" Douglas Knockout Boxing/Heavyweight Champ/George Foreman's KO Boxing. The moniker is also used in Alien Storm.

Nasubi is also credited with Scratch Golf (which we know was done by SIMS), Air Rescue, and Master of Darkness. Fumi is credited with Master of Darkness, Air Rescue, and Ninja Gaiden. SIMS did the Genesis/Mega Drive incarnations of Tecmo World Cup, but none of the people on the SMS version worked on those (well, at least TWC '92).

Group 1 The code samples provided for these are most similar to the code sample provided for George Foreman's KO Boxing (developed by SIMS): Master of Darkness Tecmo World Cup '93 Ninja Gaiden Air Rescue Dynamite Duke Aerial Assault Alien Storm Line of Fire Gain Ground Bonanza Bros. Wimbledon Wimbledon II Buggy Run These are the most likely candidates for having been developed for Sega by Sanritsu/SIMS. Group 2 These games have similar code within the first several lines, but the rest of the sample provided shows little in similarity. They do show high similarity to each other, however. E-SWAT Assault City Bomber Raid Wanted Slap Shot Golfamania Golden Axe Warrior Tennis Ace Group 3 These games show similarities to each other, but show less similarities with Groups 1 and 2. It has been established these games use the same sound engine. Double Hawk Cloud Master It has been established that Double Hawk shares staff members with games in Group 2. For the most part, the groups fall in line with the staff members who worked on it. But it may not be enough to draw an accurate conclusion, unless someone would like to give some sort of...I don't know...input here. Unless we can get confirmation from SIMS themselves, it seems we never know 100%.

	My CloneSpy analysis might help you in your quest for evidence, although it's easy to find plenty of false positives. Beware that the first 100 bytes or so of almost every SMS/GG rom will look pretty similar, and we don't know how much code Sega gave to developers which they'd re-use.

lCEknight Guest	Hmmm... I already suspected Asterix was related to Land of Illusion, but it's kinda strange Castle of illusion isn't included as another clone. I wasn't surprised to see Coca Cola Kid as a Sonic Chaos/Sonic Triple Trouble clone, either. =\| Anyway, can you please upload those versions of CloneSpy and ListSpy somewhere? I can't seem to find them anywhere, and the old versions don't want to work on my computer...

Beware that the first 100 bytes or so of almost every SMS/GG rom will look pretty similar, and we don't know how much code Sega gave to developers which they'd re-use. Not a big help, but thank you. Buster Douglas, Heavyweight Champ, and George Foreman are grouped together. Air Rescue is grouped with Aladdin (and looking at it, it may be another SIMS game). Line of Fire is grouped with Dynamite Duke. Ninja Gaiden and Master of Darkness are grouped with a bunch of Sega games. Slap Shot and Tennis Ace are grouped together. E-SWAT, Assault City, and Wanted are grouped together. Wimbledon and Wimbledon II are together. Tecmo World Cup '93 is grouped with Tengen World Cup Soccer and J League Soccer World Eleven for the Game Gear. Any other game is listed separately. On the subject of Tecmo World Cup '93, it looks like it was released for the Game Gear as Tengen World Cup Soccer (there's no ROM available to confirm this). Development of that version is credited to SIMS. So now let's look at the staff that worked on TWC'93: "Nasubi," "Fumi," and "S. Kawa." Does this mean that Aladdin, Air Rescue, Master of Darkness, and Ninja Gaiden are SIMS games? Aladdin Credits of Note Etc Designer Manma Music Composer Nasubi Special Thanks to Enjyoh Enjyoh is credited on at least one other "Group 1" SIMS candidate, but I do not remember what one.

Wimbledon Wimbledon II Buggy Run - Now, look at these credits from Tengen World Cup Soccer: Plan Enjyoh Design Enjyoh Sound Nishino, Crush X, Nasubi, Fumi Thanks S. Kawa, T. Asano Crush X worked on Scratch Golf (GG) As it turns out, Kick & Rush (Japanese Game Gear), Tecmo World Cup '93 (Master System), and Tengen World Cup Soccer (Overseas Game Gear) are all basically the same soccer game. Like I said before, development of the GG versions is credited to SIMS (not to mention there's the copyright, the "Presented by SIMS" credit, and the fact they published the Japanese version). That indicates that the SMS version is a SIMS game, naturally. Given the staff on these SIMS games, I have concluded that the following SMS games are also Sanritsu/SIMS games: Air Rescue, Disney's Aladdin, and Master of Darkness. I have gone so far as to submit that info to video game database site Video Game Rebirth (vgrebirth.org). This is the word of the Lord...

Doing a search, I found that there still was a company called Sanritsu Denki Co., Ltd. A Babelfish online translation of their company profile brings up the words "game equipment" and "software," but you probably know how online translators can be. Later, I did a search at the U.S. Copyright Office site and up with one game, Bank Panic, came up with Sanritsu Denki as the "Author on Copyright Application" Two other games also came up, but with "Sanritsu Electronics Co., Ltd." as the "Claimant." 1. Registration Number: PA-228-015 Title: Bank panic. Imprint: [Tokyo] : Sega, c1984. Description: 1 videogame. Note: Identifying material deposited in lieu of videogame.

Special Codes: 4/C Cross Reference: cSega. SEE Sega Enterprises, Ltd. 2. Registration Number: PAu-411-634 Title: Mermaid. Description: 1 videogame.

Created: 1982 Registered: 12Jan83 Author on © Application: Sanritsu Electronics Company, Ltd., employer for hire. Special Codes: 4/G So are Sanritsu Denki and Sanritsu Electronics the same company? There's enough proof that SIMS was once Sanritsu (the Game Gear item numbers). Was SIMS the game division of Sanritsu (whichever Sanritsu that was as there's about 100 companies with that name in Japan) that at some point broke off? - A search of the Famicom version of Alien Syndrome turns up the name Noboru Machida as the programmer. The game also has copyrights to Sunsoft and Sanritsu. Which one developed it? Why do I bring up Machida-san? Well, according to SIMS' online company profile, Machida-san, who apparently had worked at Sega AM2, bought 70% of the company. Could Machida-san be "Machida" from George Foreman's KO Boxing? Or maybe he's Noburunrun or Noborin mentioned in several of the games above? Probably not... The profile also mentions the company was started on June 12th, 1991.

So Sanritsu Electronics and Sanritsu Denki could very well be the same company. Hey, what are the chances that two companies named Sanritsu made video games and polarizers for use in liquid crystal display devices (see here and here). - Now that we've established that Sanritsu Electronics and Sanritsu Denki were probably the same company, were "they" the same company as the home publisher that gave us Fantasy Zone Gear? Well, a flyer for a Sanritsu arcade mahjong game called Jantotsu (here) and the back cover of Fatman for the Japanese Mega Drive (published by Sanritsu) (here) have the same phone number, if that means anything. Also, some sites such as GameFAQs refer to Sanritsu Denki as the publisher of Fatman (MD) and Peppar Time (FC), both of which use the "Sanritsu" name and logo. - Now we must establish if the Sanritsu Denki behind Bank Panic is the same as the Sanritsu Denki of today. I e-mailed an inquiry, but it was in English, so I probably won't get a reply. Even if it was in Japanese, I still probably wouldn't get one. But they make/made electronic products, so it's very likely. If that is the case, then "Sanritsu" did not become SIMS. SIMS somehow spun off or broke off from Sanritsu Denki. Perhaps SD decided to get out of the video game business and sold off their game division? - I'm still wondering if Machida, programmer of George Foreman's KO Boxing, is the same guy as Noboru Machida, the programmer on NES/Famicom Alien Syndrome? Is it any coincidence that a Noboru Machida, of Sega apparently, owns 70% of SIMS (the top of their company outline actually implies he bought out the whole company)?

Not much detective work as they actually mention SIMS in the credits. Anyway, here's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (GG) and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (GG)...

Arai" in the previous credits. I believe this could be Kou Arai, who could have also gone under the names "Arai," "Kou," and "Kouchan." BTW, Kou Arai went on to work on Xenosaga. - In recent days, I determined that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, OutRun, and Dynamite Duke for the Gen/MD were done by Sanritsu/SIMS. - Anybody want to take a guess at when in 1991 G-LOC for the SMS came out? It's important I know in order to determine whether it was done under Sanritsu or SIMS.

CRV Joined: 02 Jan 2005 Posts: 665	- Beating Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (G/MD), I found that "K. Arai" is "Kengo Arai", not "Kou Arai". - GREAT FIND! I took a swing by the Internet Archive to see if there were any old SIMS websites archived. I found one from 1998 (and one from later with an updated Saturn list) that has lists and pictures of their old Sega stuff, except the SMS (but they do have the GG). Unfortunately, there's more pictured than listed, and I can't make out everything in the pictures: Game Gear: Genesis/Mega Drive: Saturn: Here's what I've figured out from the lists and pictures thus far: Game Gear: Tom & Jerry: The Movie Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible Special Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie Ristar Tempo, Jr. Scratch Golf Disney's Aladdin Fantasy Zone Gear Vampire: Master of Darkness George Foreman's KO Boxing Crayon Shin Chan: Taiketsu! Tankam Panic!! Sonic Labyrinth Psychic World Godzilla OutRun J League...'94 (?) Sailor Moon S From TV animation: Slam Dunk: Shouri-e no Starting 5 Putt & Putter Wimbledon Genesis/Mega Drive: Virtua Fighter 2 Wimbledon OutRun OutRun 2019 Dynamite Duke Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie Fatman Crayon Shin Chan Ninja Burai Densetsu Pengo Wrestle War TV Anime Slam Dunk: Kyougou Makkou Taiketsu! Sega/Mega CD: Shin Megami Tensei Capcom no Quiz: Tonosama no Yabou Vay Popful Mail (English Version?) Saturn: In the Hunt Virtua Volleyball Ninku Victory Goal '96 Gulliver Boy Samurai Spirits III Virtual On Garou Densetsu (Fatal Fury) 3 Ultraman Hikari no Kyojin Densetsu Taiheiyou No Arashi 2: Shippuu no Moudou PD Ultraman Link Momotarou Douchuki Stellar Assault SS Sakura Taisen ?? Virus Hang-On GP Again, I can't make out everything in the pictures. - Looking at Gen/MD Wimbledon, I'm thinking the SMS/GG games were done by SIMS, too. Wimbledon (Gen/MD) Credits: Planner Kou Assistant Planner Tomonoir Programmer Kou Assistant Programmer Tomonoir Visual Graphic Designers Yoshi, Arumakan, Izayoi Sound/Music Composer Crush-X Special thanks to Great Hill, Aussie Sun, Yen, K-Suke, Anego, Emi, Hiromi, Komineko In light of these credits, I've determined Gain Ground, Ninja Gaiden, and Bonanza Brothers are Sanritsu/SIMS games. - Looking at the circa 1997-98 company profile, Noboru Machida was heading up the company, in addition to his duties at Sega. Actually, it seems all the major people at SIMS were also working at Sega. Sega, at the time, owned 100% of the company. I guess Machida-san bought back most, or all, of the company last year (see earlier post on Machida). - Again, I ask for your help in identifying when the following games came out in 1991: Bonanza Brothers, Psychic World, G-LOC Air Battle. Remember that SIMS was established in 1991. Before that, it was part of Sanritsu. I need to properly credit these.

	Don't forget the Crayon Shin Chan game for MegaDrive, which is plugged to the console in that pic (the one with the yellow cover).

Because of the transparency, you might want to open them in another program or on a dark background of some kind.

And one more comment...Shouldn't it be spelled "McDonald's", not "Mac Donald" (in reference to "Mac Donald: Ronald in the Magical World")?

SIMS: SIMS was established on June 12, 1991 as a joint venture of Sanritsu-Denki and Sega. About 50 employees came over from Sanritsu. Sega eventually bought out Sanritsu's share and made the company a subsidiary. That came to an end, however, when SIMS President Noboru Machida took over all the stock from the veteran game maker on June 25, 2004.

Game Gear (4) - Aerial Assault - Kaitou Saint Tail - Kishin Douji Zenki - Yaiba Adventures Updated October 21, 2005 * Determining the developer of many titles released in 1991 is slightly more difficult since SIMS was formed in June of that year. The best that can be done is look at the release date and figure out how long the game would have taken to develop. What is on the list currently may not be correct. Information for this list was gathered from a number of sources: code, in-game credits, e-mails to various people, posting on various boards, Google searches, looking at graphics/listening to in-game music and using intuition, the current SIMS website, previous versions of the SIMS website at the Internet Archive, and the Developer Table website. This list is not 100% guaranteed accurate. The extent of SIMS' involvement in some titles could be called into question. List is subject to change at any time without notice. The latest version can be found posted at the SMSPower.org Forums.

	CRV wrote And one more comment...Shouldn't it be spelled "McDonald's", not "Mac Donald" (in reference to "Mac Donald: Ronald in the Magical World")? You are right. This game is still one in line for proper naming. The official Japanese name seems to be "Donald no Magical World" (no reference to Mc Donald's). But Sega's Segahard listing (note: which are sometimes incorrect, I suspect they got various info from the web in addition to their own data) says "McDonald - Donald no Magical World". Now the confusing part is that although AFAIK the game was not released outside of Japan, it has an english title screen: "Ronald in the Magical World". I'm never sure how to handle those cases (at least in MEKA) with a known english title screen but no release.

CRV Joined: 02 Jan 2005 Posts: 665	Bock, do you happen to have any of the unreleased (on SMS Power) Game Gear ROMs (I think it's just the dodgeball game and two soccer games)? Would it be possible for you to just search them for credits (open it up in Notepad, search for "pro")? If you can't, that's fine. No big deal. I just thought I would ask.

	As far as I know, the only unreleased in the list is Kick & Rush? I also have a Japanese build of Fred Couples Golf. I'll send you everything by e-mail. (Honoo no Tokyuuji Dodge Danpei is already out.)

The last game released under the Sanritsu label was Fantasy Zone Gear. SIMS - SIMS stands for "Soft development Innovation Multi Success". They did 30 or more Game Gear games, nearly 20% of the library. Sega eventually bought out the whole company, making it a subsidiary. That came to an end in 2004. EDIT: It turns out G-LOC for the G/MD was by Probe. They were probably referring to the SMS version. That could be the case for Alien Storm, Bonanza Bros., and Shadow Dancer. So tentatively, they are off the list.

	The only info I was able to find was that it's one of those games you play with a gun, and that it's a "most wanted" dump... EDIT: Hey, I've just found out that it was a sequel to Bank Panic. Now this is getting interesting.

CRV Joined: 02 Jan 2005 Posts: 665	I fired off an e-mail to SIMS about their Sega games and got a rather quick reply. Taro Nakagawa (Pitekan) wrote Hello, Thank you for your mail. SIMS developed a lot of game software. However, they are all the titles of Sega. Therefore, it is not possible to tell it. (I don't understand well because there is no old developer at all in reality. ) I am sorry.Thank you. I guess since they're Sega's games, they can't disclose them, even in an e-mail. And that "old developer" line must mean that the staff working at SIMS at the time no longer works there. Oh well, I tried...

CRV Joined: 02 Jan 2005 Posts: 665	Game list updated on September 20, 2005 If Body Slam/Dump Matsumoto (Arcade) was really done by Sanritsu, I have a strong suspicion that Alien Syndrome (Arcade) was also done by Sanritsu. Not only does there seem to be a strong resemblance in graphics and sound, but the service menu works the same. It might explain why they did the NES/FC and GG versions.

CRV Joined: 02 Jan 2005 Posts: 665	I thought Sanritsu-Denki, the video game company, and this Sanritsu-Denki were the same. But now that's in doubt. When sites refer to Sanritsu-Denki the game company, they use these characters - サンリツ電気. But at the "other" Sanritsu-Denki site, they spell their name with these characters - 三立電機株式会社.

	I have also seen references to arcade games by 三立技研 (Sanritsu giken), which is also a company in engineering/manufacturing business.

Though there apparently is a "Sanritsu Giken," everything I've come across refers to Sanritsu Denki or, according to online translations, Sanritsu Electric (Babelfish says giken means "engineering and research"). And BTW, Sanritsu's game boxes also use "サンリツ電気". In other news, I posted about arcade Alien Syndrome over at the System16.com Boards. Turns out it was done by Sanritsu, along with Sunsoft...
