How Game Arts got its name?

Post by jay_are »

So the other day we talked a bit about Game Arts on these boards.
Which led me to read some stuff about the company! And found an interesting paragraph from an article at Sega-16:
Together with his brother Yoichi, Miyaji founded Game Arts in 1985 after graduating from Fukoaka High School in Saitama Prefecture, a bold move for someone who was only 19 years-old. Miyaji stated that he had started Game Arts with the intention of producing more than just gaming software, saying he wanted to prove to the world that games could indeed be art, and he focused all his energy into developing titles that realized this ambitious goal. With few resources and even less money, the siblings began programming games for computers.

^ That's really cool, especially the ambition of proving that games can be art. There's something romantic or adventurous about starting a company that young, an air I associate with Lord British, though now that I look Roberta Wilson was 27 when she founded On-Line Systems and Infocom's founders consisted of young faculty and students.

Thanks for sharing. Do you have a link to the article?

"Ye ar the more unwyse, for the scawberde ys worth ten of the swerde; for whyles ye have the scawberde uppon you, ye shall lose no blood, be ye never so sore wounded. Therefore kepe well the scawberde allweyes with you." --- Le Morte Darthur, Sir Thomas Malory
