I'm also going to nominate Konami during a similar era.
Not quite as prolific IMO, but you still have quite a few groundbreaking games within a short period of time. I just noticed that those were all Japanese developers. Huh. |
As for Konami, I have not done any research, but there were far more great games from them in the period you mentioned. Kung-fu, Life Force, Castlevania 2 (plagued by the horrible translation to English), Green Beret and many other arcade games (Turtles - the one that generated the great NES version afterwards -, Jackal, Double Drible and Crime Fighters), Contra III, etc. And those are just ones I remember without much effort.
And I coudn't be haapier when you noticed they were all Japanese devs. I grew up with those titles and for me eastern games will always have that special twist.
