Some old NES players might remember RoboWarrior (aka Bomber King in Japan), the quasi-Bomberman offshoot. You know, the one developed by Hudson? Or was it? It actually looks like it was at least partially developed by [[Company:Aicom|Aicom]] or Exa Planning, the possible Aicom predecessor. Given that Exa Planning's Angel Kids (AC) has a 1988 copyright and Bomber King came out in Japan in 1987, I guess I'll have to go with Exa Planning for now. Look at the staff:

*Hiroshi Oota was a game designer on Angel Kids and another Exa Planning arcade game, Pythagoras no Nazo, and is given special thanks on Totsuzen! Machoman (FC, the Japanese version of Amagon).

*Tokuhiro Takemori designed The Astyanax (AC) and The Legendary Axe (TG-16) and co-designed Totsuzen! Machoman (using this name since the Japanese version has credits).

*Hiroyuki Okada programmed Totsuzen! Machoman and Hoops (NES) and probably programmed Vice: Project Doom (NES) (that game has credits, but doesn't say what anybody did).

*Kenji Nakashima (aka Kenji Nakajima) was the development advisor on Pythagoras no Nazo and co-designed Hoops.

Sunsoft released a follow-up on the Game Boy called Bomber King: Scenario 2 (Blaster Master Boy in the US, Blaster Master Jr. in Europe), and it has an Aicom copyright. But why? Looking at [http://www.mobygames.com/game/gameboy/blaster-master-boy/credits the credits], it was clearly developed at Sunsoft, so that's not why.
