Rockstar Presents: Table Tennis was always a weird one for me and continues to be weird in retrospect. Just a solid table tennis sim.... From rockstar games.

I believe it was created to gain experience with their (back then) new RAGE graphics engine.

Bethesda, the company well known for Elder Scrolls and the later Fallout games once made Home Alone on the NES was a big one for me.

They also made the game that inspired Madden of all things.

I'm so starved for character action games that I'm looking up that Nightmare Before Christmas game.

This post made me feel old, because I remember going ‘why are the Spider-Man people making Call of Duty now?’

Same, and before that I was like "whoa, the people that made the Dreamcast ports of Tony Hawk games make their own games now!"

Friday the 13th for NES by Atlus. I guess they had to make money to buy the Megami Tensei license from Namco somehow.

Found this out today actually.

Did you find out via my Facebook post?

Also - Home Alone NES by Bethesda, Kid Chameleon by Mark Cerny, and when I was younger learning Faxanadu and Legacy of the Wizard were by Falcom.

Star Control and Skylanders developer Toys for Bob also made this magical girl crossover game.

Thank you for posting this, because fuck, i remember this game existing for a long time but not having any evidence!

Edit: you know, going by this thread, i think people need stop pretending From Software didn't exist before Soulsborne games.

Like, i get it, that's what a lot of you know them for, but they had numerous titles before y'all typecasted them as the souls guys.

I mean, they fucking made Metal Wolf Chaos!!!

The lead artist for this game, Tony Taka, is one of the most celebrated artists in the hentai community.

Likewise, Hiroki Kikuta, most famous for Secret of Mana, composed for many erogames that Taka worked on such as this one.

Damn this music is way too good for an erogame!!

Zelda VAs then...

Damn this music is way too good for an erogame!!

A few years ago there was a Outcast Reboot HD kickstarter, and I learned that the main devs from the Outcast studio Appeal had also a decade earlier been the main devs from the Agony studio Art & Magic. Somehow that blew my mind.

By good old BioWare. How WTF is that?
And it it's a great game.

It was mechanically solid and some of their OCs (like Shade) were cool, but the back half of the story was a mess. Like the B-team that made it was mad they didn't get to do Mass Effect so they did it anyway (seriously, halfway through the game it becomes random space adventure).

Masahiro Sakurai, of Kirby and Smash, made

Though, one look at the menu (which his wife designs) and you can pretty much assume.

Also - Home Alone NES by Bethesda, Kid Chameleon by Mark Cerny, and when I was younger learning Faxanadu and Legacy of the Wizard were by Falcom.

Actually Faxanadu was made by Hudson Soft as a separate game from Falcom's Xanadu. The NES version of Legacy of the Wizard was made by Compile, funny enough. Falcom initially refused to develop for consoles themselves, a stance that would later lead to a major staff exodus after Ys III.

This was a generic 90s PC FMV game, but was co-designed/video assistance by this certain Darren guy:

Also the Sabrina the Teenage Witch games on GBC were developed by WayForward. Given that they were out before Shantae I wonder if these were done as starting stones because the designs scream beta Shantae.

They also made

lol that title & box art are too real
