Access

Access at a Glance

Access is a Japanese developer that operated from 1995 to 2015. Their website on the web archive shows they were active during the late nineties and early two thousands. The company released seventeen titles in total, all developed by them without publishing any games under their own name. Most of their output came during the 1990s when they published eleven games. This number dropped to five in the 2000s and just one title appeared in the 2010s before they stopped making new releases. Their catalog shows a clear focus on sports titles, which make up seven of their seventeen games. They also worked on four adventure games, three simulators, and three card or board game entries. The rest of their library includes quiz games, strategy games, visual novels, an arcade title, and a single role-playing game. Access developed for several platforms during their time, with the Super Famicom hosting seven of their games. They also released five titles for PlayStation, two each for Sega Saturn, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Portable, and one game each for Game Boy, PC, Game Boy Advance, and the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer. Recent releases in their history include D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die from June 2015. Earlier entries show they worked on budget series like the Simple Characters 2000 Series Vol. 15: Cyborg 009 - The Block Kuzushi and Simple 1500 Series Vol. 96: The Yakyuu 2, both from 2002. They also made All-Star Slammin' D-Ball in 2001 and Hello Kitty Collection: Miracle Fashion Maker that same year. The data does not provide specific rating scores for these titles, so you cannot determine if their work was generally great or poor based on this information alone. Their output was relatively small compared to larger industry players, and they seem to have concentrated heavily on sports and licensed properties in the 2000s before slowing down significantly in the following decade.
