Super Game was a Chinese developer of Famicom ports of Mega Drive games. Super Game was made up of two divisions; a development studio in Shenzhen, China known as Bo Qing Ge Trade Co (柏青哥企业有限公司) and a Taiwanese division (possibly located in Taichung)[1]. Both were seemingly owned by Realtec, which published Super Game titles under the Sugar Softec label.

Gamtec connections

Super Game's sound engine and music was outsourced to a Taiwanese company. This was most likely Gamtec since they both use the TwinBee 3 sound engine. This has led to a misconception that Pocket Monster and Poke Tetris were developed by someone related to Super Game. It was most likely someone related to Gamtec as they had access to the sound engine.

The Taiwanese division also seems to be made up of Gamtec's development team as well. (Yang Jinglong, Yeh Guohua, and Song Xueren) Some of the games by Super Game also use the PCPaint fonts.

Trivia

  • A port of the Mega Drive version of Toy Story was originally in development but ended up getting cancelled. (most likely due to Realtec closing down Super Game). [1]
  • The game made by Super Game often release as multicarts, which contains one of the Mapper 4 edited version (Mapper 217) of the game, making pirate the game impossible. The rest of games in the multicart are the pirated version of licensed games.[2]
