'''Sanritsu Denki Co., Ltd.''' (サンリツ電気株式会社) was a Japanese industrial company established in December 1973. It originally manufactured communications equipment and vending machines before expanding into arcade machines. In 1979, the company began developing its own hardware and software.

'''SIMS Co., Ltd.''' (シムス株式会社) is a publisher and developer established on June 12, 1991 [http://www.sims.co.jp/company.html], by former [[Sanritsu]] president Mamoru Shigeta (重田守) with Sega Enterprises. At the time, Sega owned 67% of the company, and Shigeta owned 31%. [https://retrocdn.net/index.php?title=File%3AMdfan_JP_1991-11.pdf&page=99] <sup>[[#foot1|1]]</sup> Most of the original 50 employees came from Sanritsu [https://retrocdn.net/index.php?title=File%3ABeepMD_JP_1992-04.pdf&page=93], which was not involved. [https://retrocdn.net/index.php?title=File%3AMdfan_JP_1991-11.pdf&page=99]
  
In addition to manufacturing, developing, and publishing its own video games, Sanritsu also developed a number of arcade and home games for Sega. The end result of this relationship was '''SIMS Co., Ltd.''' (シムス株式会社). Basically the spinoff of Sanritsu's game division, it has been said SIMS was originally a joint venture of Sanritsu and Sega [http://review-site.net/dt/index.php/し#.E3.82.B7.E3.83.A0.E3.82.B9.EF.BC.88SIMS.EF.BC.89], but this may not be entirely accurate. After having been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sega, SIMS became independent on June 25, 2004, when president Noboru Machida took over all stock from the veteran game maker. [http://www.sims.co.jp/company.html]
+
As a Sega subsidiary, SIMS developed games for most Sega platforms and some non-Sega platforms, namely the PlayStation and the WonderSwan, even before its parent company left the console business. Starting with the Dreamcast version of ''Sega Bass Fishing'', the Shibuya, Tokyo-based firm found a niche as a maker of fishing games.
  
SIMS supposedly stands for "Soft development Innovation Multi Success." [http://review-site.net/dt/index.php/し#.E3.82.B7.E3.83.A0.E3.82.B9.EF.BC.88SIMS.EF.BC.89] However, former Working Designs president Victor Ireland has said it is "an acronym for the last names of the company partners." [http://gdri.smspower.org/wiki/index.php/Blog:8#SIMS:_What.27s_the_Real_Story.3F]
+
Shigeta was the first president of SIMS. (''Game Machine'' 1991/8/15, pg. 7) He was replaced by Noboru Machida (町田登) after Shigeta became Sega's director of consumer software. [https://www.wired.com/1994/11/rocket-science/] Machida was formerly development director at Sanritsu [https://retrocdn.net/index.php?title=File:BeepMD_JP_1990-09.pdf&page=85], served on SIMS' board of directors, and was SIMS' head of development. (''Game Machine'' 1991/8/15, pg. 7)
  
The original president of SIMS was Mamoru Shigeta (重田守), who had been president of Sanritsu since 1989. [http://www.ampress.co.jp/backnumber/bn2009.06.01.htm] He also owned part of the company [http://gdri.smspower.org/wiki/index.php/Blog:8#SIMS:_What.27s_the_Real_Story.3F] and was director of consumer software at Sega during this timeframe. [http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/2.11/rocket.science.html?pg=3&topic=] The current president is Noboru Machida (町田登) [http://www.sims.co.jp/company.html], former development director at Sanritsu. [http://chibarei.blog.jp/gsl/words/sanritsu/sanritsudenki.html]
+
On June 25, 2004, Machida acquired SIMS from Sega. [http://web.archive.org/web/20040716060026/http://www.sims.co.jp:80/outline.html] (SIMS had become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sega by this point.

Current SIMS logo.

SIMS Co., Ltd. (シムス株式会社) is a publisher and developer established on June 12, 1991 [1], by former Sanritsu president Mamoru Shigeta (重田守) with Sega Enterprises. At the time, Sega owned 67% of the company, and Shigeta owned 31%. [2] 1 Most of the original 50 employees came from Sanritsu [3], which was not involved. [4]

As a Sega subsidiary, SIMS developed games for most Sega platforms and some non-Sega platforms, namely the PlayStation and the WonderSwan, even before its parent company left the console business. Starting with the Dreamcast version of Sega Bass Fishing, the Shibuya, Tokyo-based firm found a niche as a maker of fishing games.

Shigeta was the first president of SIMS. (Game Machine 1991/8/15, pg. 7) He was replaced by Noboru Machida (町田登) after Shigeta became Sega's director of consumer software. [5] Machida was formerly development director at Sanritsu [6], served on SIMS' board of directors, and was SIMS' head of development. (Game Machine 1991/8/15, pg. 7)

On June 25, 2004, Machida acquired SIMS from Sega. [7] (SIMS had become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sega by this point. [8]) He continues to own and operate the company today. [9]

1. Game Machine (1991/8/15, pg. 7): "The new company, SIMS, was established on June 12 with a capital of 50 million yen, 67% of which was invested by Sega, and 33% by Shigeta and his internal staff."
