Bear's

Software company that published two PC-88 games. The "Bear's" name also turns up in the ROMs of both the MSX and Famicom versions of Pachi Com. A significant portion of the staff that worked on Pachi Com and Skyscraper (PC-88) turn up on the Toei Animation-published FC/NES games listed below, whose development was contracted to Shouei System. There are two possibilities as we see it: either Shouei System subcontracted to Bear's, or Shouei System bought/absorbed Bear's.
