About This File
Allumer, Ltd. was a video game production company, established in 1978 and based in Meguro, Tokyo, Japan . The company suspended business in 1999. In 2023, Japanese video game publisher Hamster Corporation acquired the rights to Allumer's catalog of titles. After the acquisition, the games from the company began to appear on their Arcade Archives series of re-releases, beginning with Magical Speed. Other titles from the company, such as Blandia, Rezon, Mad Shark, Zing Zing Zip, and War of Aero started appearing afterwards. Allumer's history is very much intertwined with the company Seta. Seta founder and president Jun Fujimoto was executive director of Allumer. Early on, Seta was based in the Allumer Building. Seta arcade games used Allumer chips and it's debated whether some arcade games, like Taito's Gladiator, were developed by Seta or Allumer.
