Arc FC (code comparison)
From Game Developer Research Institute
A code comparison was done between Chiyo no Fuji no Ooichou and Hissatsu Shigoto Nin (both for the Nintendo Famicom), which we had previously confirmed to be developed by Arc. Shared code from these two games was searched for in other Famicom/NES games. Hits came from Great Battle Cyber, Pizza Pop!, and several Banpresto and Namco games.
The following games were confirmed as being by Arc as a result of this code comparison:
- Great Battle Cyber - Enough code was shared, in our opinion; also, the sound person was Junya Kozakai, who worked on many other Arc games.
- Pizza Pop! - Enough code was shared, in our opinion; this corroborated the credits we found prior to doing the comparison.
The other Banpresto and Namco games have yet to be confirmed.
