Bothtec, Inc.

Bothtec, Inc. was a multifaceted company that ventured into various fields, particularly in the gaming industry. A significant milestone occurred in 1990 when Bothtec acquired the video game company Quest, integrating it as an internal development subsidiary. This partnership led to the creation of notable titles, including the "Macross" and "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" series. However, in 1997, Bothtec restructured, resulting in the formation of Quest Corp., which gained recognition for the Ogre Battle franchise.

Key figures in the studio included founders and lead developers who shaped its creative direction. Bothtec's portfolio featured groundbreaking games such as "Relics: The Recur of Origin," "Phantasie II," and "Ranma 1/2: Hiryuu Densetsu." The studio significantly influenced the gaming landscape through its innovative approach to strategy games and educational software.

Bothtec primarily focused on strategy and educational genres, contributing to the evolution of PC gaming. The studio received various accolades for its work, including recognition for its classic titles through the Project EGG service, which aimed to preserve and distribute retro games. Ultimately, Bothtec was dissolved in 2009 after merging with BBMF, marking the end of its journey in the gaming industry.
