h.a.n.d. Inc. (ハ・ン・ド ha.n.do ) is a Japanese video game developer founded in 1992. The company originally started as a service selling Macintosh hardware and software to universities before the Mac platform was widely-known. When competition in the field increased, h.a.n.d. reorganized to develop original software.[2]
h.a.n.d.'s earliest known game is Treasure Strike: Full Swing, developed in collaboration with publisher, Kid, who released the PC follow-up to the Dreamcast original in 2004. The company consists of two other divisions -- North Point Inc. for the development of mobile phone apps and other software, and S.N.S. Inc. who work on social games for Facebook and Mixi for external publishers.
