Companies spun off from Toaplan

After Toaplan closed its doors in 1994, several former employees formed or were involved with the following companies, many of which were dedicated to arcade shooters:

  • CAVE
  • Raizing/8ing (When Raizing was folded into 8ing, some employees left for CAVE.)
  • Gazelle (creators of Air Gallet and the Sailor Moon arcade game; both distributed by Banpresto. Gazelle did not last long; after its closure, some employees left to join CAVE.)
  • Takumi (creators of Giga Wing and Mars Matrix, published Twin Cobra II after Toaplan's closure. Current status unknown.)
