Masumi Akagi writes in his book that Sanritsu Giken paid Alpha Denshi to develop the mah-jong game ''Janputer'', which was manufactured by Sanritsu and licenced to several others. Even Akagi seems to be confused by Sanritsu, referring to the Sanritsu that licenced ''Centipede'' as サンリツ and the ''Janputer'' one as 三立技研. --[[User:Idrougge|Idrougge]] 15:35, 8 August 2007 (CDT)

I noticed some Putt & Putter graphics appear as filler in the GB game "Vattle Giuce", which seems to point to a connection between Sanritsu/SIMS and IGS (the Japanese "Information Global Service", not the Taiwanese arcade game company). I don't know if IGS was actually a developer or what, though. And it's possible some staff member moved from Sanritsu/SIMS to IGS (or whoever was developing for them) and just happened to have those graphics lying around... Could be anything really. just throwing it in there.

Do you have any specific examples? As far as I know, IGS was not a developer. I find it highly unlikely Sanritsu/SIMS did the game. It's always possible the same graphics person worked on both, but unfortunately, I don't think there are any credits for Vattle Giuce. CRV 16:42, 27 December 2006 (CST)
well, these are the graphics as they appear in each ROM. They're in SMS/GG format even in Vattle Giuce, so I assume they aren't actually used anywhere in that game. I do have credits for Vattle Giuce, although they all seem to be pseudonyms:

That's really, really weird. The graphics people on Putt & Putter were Matsu Special/Matsu and Lehto (SMS version only). While these names are also pseudonyms, they seem like a far stretch from what's up above. Actually, I've never seen any of those names before. CRV 22:53, 27 December 2006 (CST)

Centipede

I just read in Masumi Akagi's book that Sanritsu denki licenced Atari's Centipede in 1983. --Idrougge 17:37, 6 August 2007 (CDT)

Guess that would explain the Atari mention on Sanritsu's website. CRV 19:08, 6 August 2007 (CDT)

Janputer

Masumi Akagi writes in his book that Sanritsu Giken paid Alpha Denshi to develop the mah-jong game Janputer, which was manufactured by Sanritsu and licenced to several others. Even Akagi seems to be confused by Sanritsu, referring to the Sanritsu that licenced Centipede as サンリツ and the Janputer one as 三立技研. --Idrougge 15:35, 8 August 2007 (CDT)

Unless someone somewhere got mixed up, I would guess Sanritsu Giken and Sanritsu Denki are different companies. You brought up Sanritsu Giken in an old SMS Power post. Have you seen Sanritsu Giken on any other games? I've only seen it associated with Janputer, on some websites and both the English and Japanese ADK articles on Wikipedia.
