ASC Games (abbreviated from American Softworks Corporation) was an American video game publisher founded in 1992. Formerly based in Darien, Connecticut, the company quickly became a major publisher for games on the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis.

The company eventually shut down on 7 January 2000 due to the financial issues that came with the ongoing delay of their upcoming game, Werewolf: The Apocalypse - The Heart of Gaia, which was in development by BetaSoft Games.
