Locomotive
From Game Developer Research Institute
Locomotive (株式会社ロコモティブ) was a Japanese development house started in May 1987 and headed by Hiroshi Okamoto (岡本博視). [1] It appears to have closed around 2000.
In 2004, Okamoto co-founded Apria, a company that sells organic cosmetics. [2] It is alleged he programmed the infamous Transformers game Convoy no Nazo for the Famicom.
Not to be confused with the defunct THQ-owned Locomotive Games.
