The company produced games for a number of platforms, including Dreamcast, Game Boy, Nintendo 64, TurboGrafx-16, PC (Windows), PlayStation, Saturn, Sega CD, Super NES, TurboGrafx-CD, and WonderSwan.
The company is known for originating the popular Fire Pro Wrestling series of games, as well as the Super Formation Soccer sports game, Final Match Tennis and Human Grand Prix racing video game.
