Gaming Ads: American Technos
Technos was founded in Japan in 1981 and made a number of popular titles in its 15 year history, with the biggest hit being Double Dragon. The Kunio-Kun series is quite well known as well; that includes Renegade, River City Ransom, and Super Dodge Ball among others. American Technos was founded in 1987 to publish localized arcade and console versions of the Japanese games to the North American market. However, not all Technos console games were published by American Technos in the U.S. as the properties were licensed to a number of other publishers. That's why you won't find Double Dragon ads in today's upload but you can find some in the Acclaim album and will see more when I get to Tradewest.
