TECMO was a game company that existed in the past. Founded in 1964, it initially started as a building management company but expanded into arcade game development after changing its name in 1977, following a stint in amusement facility management.
From there, in 1986, the company changed its name to TECMO and officially entered the game software development business, becoming known as a game maker as it is today. In 2010, a merger with Koei led to the establishment of KOEI TECMO GAMES, under which it currently operates as a game company.
So, TECMO was involved in entirely different things in the past.
Yes, indeed! It seems that not many companies started out as game development enterprises from the beginning! Now, now! Let's quickly check out the lineup of TECMO's masterpieces! Please check it out!
