augitesoul - they/them, French, likes to think about arcade games that haven't been thought about at all

Some questions that knowledgeable people may answer (or if you're a GDRI editor, feel free to reply on my talk page):

About Excellent System

- When was this company founded? Their earliest game is Keirin Ou from 1987, but a lot of their games are undumped.

- Did Excellent System make Grand Cross/Power Flipper Pinball Shooting (1994) themselves? Aquarium and Varia Metal are by freelance staff or other companies entirely.

- Where were they located? The flyer for Varia Metal has their address, but there are no pictures of it online that are clear enough.

Misc.

- Who worked on Macross Plus (1996, arcade) outside of MOSS? This game runs on unique hardware used only on one other game: Quiz Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: Chiryoku Tairyoku Toki no Un by Gazelle.

- Are there any unreleased games for IGS' PolyGame Master system? After listing board IDs, there's plenty of gaps (which I think may be for gambling/redemption games they made at the same time)

- Was there any relationship between Seta/Allumer and the Taiwanese arcade market? Subsino used Seta/Allumer hardware for two of their games: Crazy Fight and Penguin Brothers (the latter of which was made in Japan by staff including Takatsuna Senba of Metal Black fame). Also, some Allumer games have alternate Chinese title screens.

- What was Wintechno, exactly? Their only (known?) game is Magical Cat Adventure/Catt (arcade, 1993?), and this has no credits. It runs on Face/Atlus hardware, if this somehow helps. EDIT: Wintechno still exists, and it looks like they make LCD monitor equipment nowadays. Their company timeline mentions their only video game, so this is indeed the right Wintechno.

- Is there a link between Metro and Fuuki? Apparently, Zero One and Zero One SP were made by former Metro staff.
