Talk:GDRI-005

This profile for Eiichiro Morinaga says he was the lead programmer of Takeshi no Chosenjo, and also programmed a PC88 title called Time Empire. Time Empire has a 1985 copyright to something called "Ark". Might be a lead? --Dimitri (talk) 02:54, 14 March 2017 (CET)

The ad says it was planned and developed by a company called Ark (株式会社アーク). That's all I can find. CRV (talk) 04:05, 14 March 2017 (CET)

I found two people named Eiichiro Morinaga on Facebook. I sent a message to one of them, who currently works at Sony. I'll let you know if/when he replies. --Doommaster1994 (talk)

GDRI's Twitter thread on an interview with Hiroshi Fukutsu is telling me these may be very early Nova games... there's also an extra game, Dokuganryuu Masamune (FC), noted (in the Arc System Works talk page, Ita mentions this game shared a font with SD Sengoku Bujutsu Retsuden (FC) and Battle Commander (SFC)). Also, I think I can partially back this up with Sherlock Holmes: Hakushaku Reijou Yuukai Jiken's staff credits... Makoto is one of the programmers credited, and Makotomas is credited in Burning Force (but not for programming: instead, it's for directing and the story, and I might not have found the same person), but not much else I can think of. The other alternative, if the dates match up correctly since a creation date was recorded, is that this is Quest (2), which was mentioned to be a brother company of Nova.

Magnum Kiki Ippatsu: Empire City 1931 (FC)

This game shares the same sound engine with the rest of the games. I also see they all share similar graphic styles and are a little glitchy. I don't see any shared staff though.
