Alchemist
Alchemist was a Japanese video game publisher. It specialized in the development of visual novels for use on home video game consoles such as the PlayStation 2 and the Dreamcast.
Centuri
Centuri was the continuation of the amusement machine manufacturer Allied Leisure under new leadership. Allied Leisure had been through financial difficulties towards the end of the 1970's and were bought out by the Milton Koffman family in mid-1979. Centuri was something of an oddity in the American amusement machine business because of their location. Unlike most coin op businesses in the country, which were either located in Chicago (Midway, Williams, Stern) or on the West Coast (Atari, Sega/Gremlin, Exidy, Cinematronics) Centuri was located in Hialeah, Florida. By the time of the Koffman takeover Allied Leisure had barely released any games since 1976/77, and what had been released had been in very limited quantities. The new owners recruited a pair of coin-op veterans to head the newly reorganized company and change its focus – Ed Miller and Bill Olliges, president and vice president, respectively, of Taito America. Under Miller and Olliges, Centuri would largely change its focus to importing and manufacturing games from international developers. Though industry veterans today, this was among the first games by SNK, Konami and Tehkan (Tecmo) that were brought to American shores. This led to a very rapid turnaround in the company's financial situation beginning in 1981. Centuri's turnaround would, however, not be enough for the company to escape the downturn of the arcade industry in 1983-1984. Also, by the end of 1984 Centuri's most lucrative partner, Konami, was finally establishing their own US distribution. Deprived of the source of their most successful games, Centuri would close down its video game division in 1985. The company would continue in other fields, such as housing and seafood, for a few more years until completely shuttering in 1991.
Erbe Software

Erbe's internal development team then moved to Topo Soft. Erbe Software distributed to many of the leading national and international video game houses of the time, such as Topo Soft, Nintendo, Ocean Software, U.S. Gold, Imagine, Mikro Gen, Ultimate, SEGA, Lucasfilm Games, among others. February 2, 1993, an arson, according to the Madrid fire department destroys the company's warehouse in Móstoles, destroying some 50,000 Game Boy and Super Nintendo consoles. Between February 24 and March 3, 1993, Erbe suffered a serious crisis in which he lost the exclusive distribution of Nintendo, one of his most important accounts. At the end of the 90s, Erbe was absorbed by Anaya Interactiva and disappeared as a brand.

Technos Japan
Technōs Japan Corp. was a Japanese video game developer, best known for the Double Dragon and Kunio-kun (which includes Renegade, Super Dodge Ball and River City Ransom) franchises. As of June 2015, Arc System Works owns the intellectual properties of Technōs Japan. Initially operating from a single-room apartment, Technōs was founded in 1981 by three staff members of Data East. Their first game was Minky Monkey, released in 1982. A few months after their foundation, a lawsuit was brought up against the company by Data East under allegations that Technos had stolen data from Data East's arcade game Pro Tennis with the intent of producing and selling a bootleg of it.[3] The two companies settled in August 1983 and Technos would go on to create two arcade games published by Data East, Tag Team Wrestling and Karate Champ. Technōs Japan's earlier games were published by other companies, as Technōs at the time did not have the economical resource to distribute their own games. Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun ("Hot Blooded Tough Guy Kunio"), a side-scrolling beat-em-up released in 1986 about a high school student who fought thugs and delinquents from other schools, was the company's first big hit in Japan. Kunio-kun was released in the west as Renegade with the game's graphics changed to make the game marketable in the overseas market. Technōs would then produce a Nintendo Entertainment System version of the game, which would be Technōs' first game for the home console market. Technōs Japan's subsequent arcade beat-em-up, Double Dragon, was a big success worldwide when it was released in 1987, leading to the production of an NES version of the game, as well as licensed versions by other companies for various platforms. The success of Kunio-kun led to the production of numerous spin-offs and sequels starring the same character produced for the 8-bit Family Computer platform in Japan and later for the Game Boy and Super Famicom, resulting in more than twenty games starring Kunio by the mid-1990s, many of which were rule-bending sports games. A few Kunio-kun games were localized for the North American market; namely Super Dodge Ball, River City Ransom (considered by critics to be a cult classic[citation needed]) and Nintendo World Cup, but none maintain any connection with each other. Technōs would attempt to remedy this by attempting to localize several Kunio-kun under the Crash 'n the Boys label, but only Crash 'n the Boys: Street Challenge was released (the game's ending features a teaser for Ice Challenge, which was unreleased). Technōs also released two arcade sequels to Double Dragon: Double Dragon II: The Revenge in 1988 and Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone in 1990 (the latter was developed by an external development team at East Technology), and produced the respective NES versions of those games, as well as Super Double Dragon in 1992, an original installment for the Super NES. An American-produced Double Dragon animated series and a live-action film were also made as well. Outside the Double Dragon and Kunio-kun games, Technōs produced a few original games for the arcade and home markets such as U.S. Championship V'Ball, The Combatribes and Shadow Force, as well as two WWF arcade games (WWF Superstars and WWF Wrestlefest), but most of these games did not achieve the same kind of success that Kunio-kun and Double Dragon achieved. The company's last games were produced for the Neo Geo hardware, which include a Double Dragon fighting game based on the movie, their second and last fighting game Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer, and a Neo-Geo sequel to Super Dodge Ball. By 1996, Technōs Japan declared bankruptcy and ceased operations. Some of the developers who worked on the Neo Geo titles (including Kengo Asai) briefly worked at Face, a former affiliate of SNK. Following the closure, a licensing company named Million Co., Ltd was formed to purchase the former intellectual properties of Technōs Japan. Million continued to produce new games such as Super Dodge Ball Advance, Double Dragon Advance and River City Ransom EX for the Game Boy Advance, Super Dodgeball Brawlers for the Nintendo DS, as well as reissuing older titles via the Virtual Console and other services. On June 11, 2015, Arc System Works announced they had acquired all intellectual properties of Technōs Japan from Million Co., Ltd.
Visco

It was founded in 1982 by Tetsuo Akiyama (秋山 哲雄, Akiyama Tetsuo) and later became corporate on August 8, 1983 while revealing itself as "Visco" in Japan. They originally developed video games for several platforms from the arcades and NES, to the Nintendo 64 and Neo Geo in the past. When Visco was one of the companies under the Taito umbrella, some of its titles back then were labeled "Taito". They also teamed up with Seta and Sammy in developing arcade games powered by the SSV (Sammy, Seta and Visco) arcade system board until Sammy fully acquired noted game company Sega under a new company titled Sega Sammy Holdings in 2004, while Seta's parent company Aruze announced in December 2008 that Seta decided to close their doors after 23 years of existence. Therefore, the SSV board was no longer being produced. From 2008, Visco began manufacturing slot machines for casinos mostly in southeast Asian regions.
