Sega/Falcom
Han J. Lee
There's an interesting ad in the latest issue of Famicom Tsushin.
Basically, it's a company campaign-ad for the newly formed Sega/Falcom
Ltd. As John Leo posted a while ago, Falcom and Sega are now one!
In case you're not too familar with the name Falcom, Falcom is the
company responsible for creating all the Y's series, Sorcerian and
other numerous RPG (and ARPG) titles that have essentially been ported
to all the systems. Y's for example was first on the MSX, then Master
System and then on the PC Engine. Y's 3 is also available on the Super
Famicom and will soon be out for the Mega Drive courtesy of Nihon Telenet.
Falcom is also probably the most popular game company in Japan that
produces RPG games extensively. With their latest joint venture with
Sega, they have planned to write some new RPGs and ARPGs on the new
Mega-CD. This is indeed an exciting news for all the Sega users
out there, and this could also mean that Y's 4+ series will be only
available on the Sega machines.
