HiCom (하이콤) were a video game developer and (mostly) publisher from South Korea. They were original founded in 1988 and changed their name to e-SoftNet in 1999 before going defunct in 2004.
HiCom similarly to Samsung was meant to help distribute Sega products in South Korea. Though they mostly didn't do this and instead converted several MSX games to Master System using the legacy video feature of the system. They also made a series of compilations known as the Best Game Collection which included My Card games as well as a few converted MSX titles or SG-1000 games.

- The Super Game and it's home versions could likely be made by them due to it sharing similarities with HiCom's releases (My Card games, tons of MSX conversions, a few SG-1000 games, and it features Super Columns)
