The NewZealand Story ROM has a date of Dec 1989. I don't know what to make of that. CRV (talk) 20:17, 14 March 2017 (CET)

Maybe it was done at Thinking Rabbit? Wouldn't be their only title for Taito. It's also possible Ohno was working as a freelance programmer between leaving Thinking Rabbit and starting Dragnet. --Dimitri (talk) 21:15, 14 March 2017 (CET)
And who did Shove It!? There's not much to go on. CRV (talk) 22:41, 14 March 2017 (CET)

Was there a source for Kazuo Okabayashi writing the Mega Drive sound driver? CRV (talk) 00:22, 19 November 2016 (CET)

It's listed in my original MD sound driver list (dated Jan. 2008) as "Visco/Kazuo Okabayashi", presumably just because he's credited for sound on both Wardner and Caliber 50. I thought there might be a ROM-text tag but I can't find anything now. I don't think there's any evidence that he specifically is the one who wrote it. --Dimitri (talk) 04:00, 19 November 2016 (CET)

Do we know who runs/ran this company? Is it possible it also split off from Thinking Rabbit? Like Kan's and Giraffe Soft, it's also based in Hyogo Prefecture, and Masaharo Ohno seems to have worked there before Dragnet was established (he's credited on Madeline from 1987). --Dimitri (talk) 04:04, 19 November 2016 (CET)

I assumed it was Masaharu Ohno's company. (Is he related to Matsuhiro?) The bar Topwin, whose site is hosted by Dragnet, might also be his. [1] CRV (talk) 04:17, 19 November 2016 (CET)
Masaharu also worked on PC-88 Casablanca. [2] CRV (talk) 21:00, 19 November 2016 (CET)
