Established on December 2, 1981, System Sacom Corp. (株式会社システムサコム) was a computer hardware and software company in Tokyo. [1] It withdrew from the game industry in 1998 [2] and focused on its hardware business.1
Sacom was responsible for the "Novel Ware" series of adventure games that influenced the sound novel and visual novel genres. Outside of Japan, the company is remembered for its interactive movie games such as Mansion of Hidden Souls and Lunacy. It was also involved with the research and development of artificial intelligence and knowledge information processing systems [3], and operated Sacom Multimedia Studio in Shin-Yokohama [4] [5], which provided motion capture, movie conversion/digitizing, and audio recording services. [6]
In 2019, D4 Enterprise, the company behind the Project EGG retro game service, announced it had acquired System Sacom's back catalog of game titles, along with the back catalogs of several other companies. [7]
In the 1980s, Sacom was a member of various groups of Japanese computer game companies including STAC (Software Technology & Communication), which tried to fight software rental and piracy. It was also a member of SST (Super Software Team), a group of Tokyo-based software companies within STAC,2 and DOG (Disk Original Group), a group of seven companies formed at the suggestion of Square to develop games for the Famicom Disk System. [8] It was also involved with Scap Trust, a joint venture with seven other software companies (companies that were also part of STAC and/or DOG). [9]
Yukio Horimoto, creator of Märchen Veil, started Infinity in 1986. In 1990, Sacom's business software division was spun off into a subsidiary called System Sacom Business, which did some game development and later became SSB. Rokumendo and Ivy-Arts were started by former Sacom staff in 1997 and 1998, respectively. Umihara Kawase creator Kiyoshi Sakai and character designer Toshinobu Kondo were former Sacom employees.
Footnotes:
1. System Sacom Corp. later became or spun off System Sacom Sales Corp. (株式会社システムサコム販売), which was renamed System Sacom Industry Corp. (システムサコム工業株式会社) in 2010 [10] and is still an active company. It's not clear if System Sacom and System Sacom Sales/Industry are the same corporate entity as System Sacom Sales/Industry never seems to mention when it was established.
2. BPS founder Henk Rogers explained what STAC and SST were in his interview in the book The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers Volume 3. STAC members also jointly advertised in magazines and had get-togethers every month. In addition to SST, there was also Trinity, a group of companies in the Kansai region.
