Hitmaker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hitmaker (originally AM3) is a Japanese video game developer, which was a former second-party developer for Sega Corporation. The development house has produced some popular arcade game and video games, including Virtual On, Crazy Taxi, Astro Boy: Omega Factor (along with Treasure), and Virtua Tennis. In 2000, as a part of a restructuring of Sega, they were renamed Hitmaker. Later in 2004, they were merged back with the other "AM teams" into Sega and have since then reverted back to their old name of Sega AM3.
