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 on 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.

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.
