This entry is about the "original" Aicom. For the Aicom responsible for Pulstar, see Yumekobo.
Aicom Corporation (株式会社エイコム) was originally established in the 1980s. It was acquired by Sammy [1] in 1990 and became a subsidiary called Nippon Aicom (株式会社日本エイコム). Nippon Aicom and another Sammy subsidiary, Japan Soft Technology, were merged into Sammy in 1992. [2]
Aicom is alledgedly short for "Akio Inoue COMputer." (Akio Inoue was the president.) [3]
EXA Planning (Angel Kids, Pythagoras no Nazo) was a name used on games jointly developed by Aicom and Eleca (E = Eleca; A = Aicom).
Cyclone System and C.P. Brain were both started by former Aicom staff.
