MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - Hoei gamelist (repost)

Back around January 11, 2010, I posted an arcade game list of the publisher known as Hoei, mainly sourced from a list by Yasuhiro Ogawa, with edits from me where I added the additional games I could find "proof" of online. The thread was eventually purged back in those days. Here it is again, reposted, with a few minor additions.

Hoei Sangyo

Hoei was founded April 1977 as Hoei Sangyo, Co. Ltd. The company was renamed Coreland in 1982, and later became part of Banpresto in 1989.
