Artec
A former subsidiary of Japanese developer & publisher Random House, most active during the late '80s. Artec's lead developer, author Yuto Ramon, founded it in 1986 to make various RPGs, rather than Random House co-founder Kazuro Morita's shogi games. The group developed primarily on Japanese PCs, but lent support to console adaptations of Ramon's works, such as Minelvaton Saga and GDLeen. Artec dissolved around 1992 after Ramon left to pursue his writing career. Other creators in the studio, such as programmer Yoshihiko Hyodo, separated at this point.
