Hypotheses
most of these match specifically with Chocobo's Dungeon, Puyo Puyo 7, and/or Bomberman Online
- Blinx (need to check but comes up a few times)
- Soul of the Samurai (need to check but comes up a few times)
- Beavis and Butt-Head: Virtual Aho Shoukougun (found looking through all archive.org hand.co.jp files; seems to be part of a site on publisher B-Factory that was on h.a.n.d.'s site for some reason but the archive.org servers keep failing)
- Andlabs (talk) 21:05, 28 November 2012 (CST)
more from andlabs:
- http://www.mobygames.com/game/ps2/ka-2-lets-go-hawaii/credits sakamoto and yano
- http://www.mobygames.com/game/universal-studios-theme-parks-adventure yano; both games are claimed to have been developed by Zoom; did these two people come from there or did Zoom subcontract graphics work to h.a.n.d.?
3DO
h.a.n.d. published Virtual Puppet Reika, but it was developed by Kuki. Not sure if they're counting that. CRV (talk) 07:41, 3 December 2012 (CST)
