Established on December 2, 1981, System Sacom Corp. (株式会社システムサコム) was a hardware and software company in Tokyo. [1] The company withdrew from the game industry in 1998 [2] and focused on its hardware business.
Sacom was responsible for the "Novel Ware" series of adventure games that were highly influential in the genre of visual novels. The company was a member of DOG (Disk Original Group), a coalition of companies led by Square that produced games for the Famicom Disk System [3], and a similar group called Super Software Team, made up of several computer game makers. [4] It was also involved with Scap Trust, a joint venture with seven other software companies. [5]
Sacom's business software division broke away and became System Sacom Business (later SSB) in 1990. In 1998, Masaharu Inoue started what is now Ivy-Arts (originally Media Jungle, then Jungle [6]). Toshio Shimizu, who started up Sacom Multimedia Studio, started a company called Digital Hands that same year. [7]
