RCM Group (RamCo Man International, Chinese name: 劍虹國際有限公司) was a Taiwanese publisher active between 1989 and 1992. It was likely set up by Hwang Shinwei to publish and distribute his games as well as multicarts, both locally in Taiwan and to the rest of the world.

Activities

Unlike the previous publisher Hwang Shinwei worked with, RCM was much more active internationally and set up export channels in countries like Canada, where the Golden Game cartridges were quite popular. In June 1991, several people were arrested related to criminal actions against a person named Tina Huang working for Rainco Man International Co. Ltd. RCM seem to have ended their international export business at that period. Their last cartridges, released in early 1992, were the Tetris Family Famicom multicarts, marketed almost solely in Taiwan.
