Dongguan Hi-Tech Computer Learning Machine Co., Ltd. (Chinese: 东莞市高科电脑学习机有限公司), more commonly known as Hitek, is a company that was founded on July 13, 1999 in Dongguan, Guangdong, China.[1] They are currently only known to have published unlicensed Game Boy Color games and pirate Chinese translations of licensed Game Boy Color games. The company still exists, but has long abandoned video game production.
Hitek's Game Boy Color games were developed by a company called Ruanxin Co., Ltd. (Chinese: 福州软鑫电子技术研究有限公司), which was founded by and housed Waixing staff. Most Hitek games boot up with a "GK.RX" logo, which likely refers to Gaoke (Hitek) and Ruanxin.
Most Hitek games were also published by Li Cheng under different titles.
