Pyramid Creator (魔術金字塔) (2000) - Published by Hitek. While some aspects of the game connect it to Ruanxin (i.e., the use of the Link's Awakening sound driver and credits listing staff who worked for both Waixing and Ruanxin), it is unknown if the game was produced under them. The game features a splash screen exclusively featuring the text "The New Game" - it is unknown if this is supposed to be the name of the developer.
