In 1990, Sammy established a subsidiary called Nippon Aicom. [1] In 1992, it was absorbed into Sammy. After that, it became independent, received investment from SNK and Takara, and became Yumekobo. [2]
Unfortunately, that's about all the information on Aicom there is. Contrary to what Sammy's corporate history says, Aicom existed prior to being established as a subsidiary. The earliest mention of Aicom we've found is on 1988's Megumi Rescue (MKIII/SMS) (which seems to be based on Flying Hero (FC), despite coming out earlier).
One theory we're floating is that Aicom used to be Exa Planning. Just compare the Exa credits here and the "confirmed games" credits here. We also wonder if Exa was somehow related to Eleca (Electronics Application).
The list below reflects Aicom circa 1988-1992 (when Aicom was absorbed into Sammy). Games from 1992 onward have not been included.
