Technōs Japan
They gave us:
Karate Champ
Renegade
Double Dragon
Super Dodge Ball
River City Ransom
Crash 'n the Boys
Super Spike V' Ball
My understanding is that some of the Technōs Japan programmers are still around working for a company called Miracle Kidz, which is working on a sequel to River City Ransom!!! This game was suppose to come out last year, but fans of River City Ransom have waited this long, so what is an extra year or two, right?
Of course, I also loved our recently departed Hudson. :'(
I bought the Shot Watch app for my iPod the other day to commemorate this great game developer of yesteryear as well as letting Konami know that Hudson still has fans.
