Technos Japan Corp.
Technos Japan was established in December 1981 by Kunio Taki and a group of other former Data East staff. The company became well known in the late '80s for the Double Dragon and Nekketsu High School franchises.
The 16-bit era saw a decline in the popularity of these franchises, and with no big hits, the company was forced to close in early 1996. The rights to their back catalog have moved between several publishers, including Million and Atlus, but they are today owned by Arc System Works.
Several companies were formed by former Technos Japan staff, including Almanic (later Givro) in 1992 and Avit (later Avit-Niigata) in 1996.

The 3DO Company
The company was founded as SMSG, Inc. (San Mateo Software Games) in 1991 by Trip Hawkins and it was headquartered in Redwood City, California. Initially, the SMSG focused on video games consoles and launched the 3DO in October 1993. The console itself was created by different partners and licensees, while 3DO received royalties on each console sold and on each game manufactured. They also offered a lower royalty rate than direct competitors Nintendo and SEGA. The console did not succeed, with a high introduction price and dubious game quality. The final nail in the coffin was when Sony entered the market with the PlayStation in 1995. The 3DO Company sold the design for its next-generation console to Matsushita in 1996 and changed business to a games development and publishing.
