[1] [2] It was previously called Big Club (株式会社ビッグ・クラブ). [3] Before getting into the software business, Big Club operated a chain of Famicom repair shops. [4] [5] The company is said to have gone bankrupt (perhaps in 1995, if this is in fact a bankruptcy notice referring to the same Nihon Soft Hanbai [appears to have the same address]).

- Takane Ohkubo said in an interview that he worked on this game at Big Club. [10] He left Big Club to join Live Planning, likely in 1989, which would mean the game was developed long before it was released (1992). The name Manjyudo appears on the game, which was a company run by Eiko Iida [11], the producer on Jinmu Denshou and Armed F.
