Advance Communication
From Game Developer Research Institute
Advance Communication Company (アドバンスコミュニケーション株式会社) was headed by Takahisa Takezaki (竹崎貴久). [1]
Advance Communication was once a member of the "21st Century Information Industry Network Cooperative" (which still exists). AIM president Hideaki Tsujikawa (辻川英章) was Head of the Secretariat around the same time. [2] Some presumed Advance Communication programmers would go on to work for AIM.
It appears the company filed for bankruptcy in 1994. [3] [4]
