Imagesoft
From Game Developer Research Institute
Imagesoft (イマージュソフト) was a mail-order retailer/developer/publisher run by Yukio Tamura (田村幸雄). It was acquired by Pax Electronica Japan in 1983 and became Pax Softnica ("Pax Softonica" at the time), a subsidiary. [1] Tamura eventually departed Pax Softnica and began developing games independently under the Imagesoft name.
