Changes: Dragon Co.

Revision as of 00:21, 29 January 2012

Dragon Co. is a Chinese pirate game company that seem to have been around from the late 1990s to about the mid-2000s. They have made games for the Famicom and Neo-Geo. The dates of most of these games are unknown, with the exception of Felix The Cat 3. All of their Famicom games are platformers based off of cartoons. Tomsoft (Tommy Xie/Xie Rong Chun) was previously employed as a programmer by Dragon and developed their Famicom SDK in 1996. Later Dragon Co games were produced without Tomsoft. [1]

A number of ex-Dragon employees worked for Nice Code and took some resources from Dragon Co. with them, which thy used to produce a number of games which are mostly graphics hacks of Dragon titles.

Games

Trivia

Two of Shenzhen Nanjing's titles, The Hacker and Titanic 2005, are of the same/similar quality to Dragon Co. titles; ironically, The Hacker is a hack of Felix The Cat. These were likely produced by Nice Code.
There is another hack of Felix The Cat titled Super Hero that can be found on DreamGear famiclones.
Tom & Jerry III has been hacked into a game titled Primitive, which has been found both on a standalone Nanjing-branded cartridge (as yet undumped) and on DreamGear famiclones.
