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)
