==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)

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 [http://www.zoom-inc.co.jp/page/index_work.html 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.?
::Maruyama turns up on Universal and Mister Mosquito. I suspect people from Zoom joined h.a.n.d. Both companies are in Sapporo. [[User:CRV|CRV]] ([[User talk:CRV|talk]]) 13:17, 10 March 2013 (CET)

==3DO==
h.a.n.d. published Virtual Puppet Reika, but it was developed by Kuki. Not sure if they're counting that. [[User:CRV|CRV]] ([[User talk:CRV|talk]]) 07:41, 3 December 2012 (CST)
