Nihon Falcom Corp.


Overview

Nihon Falcom (日本ファルコム) was founded by Masayuki Katō in March 1981. The company has been focusing on producing games for Japanese home computers (later PC Windows), though many of their most popular titles were ported to various console systems as well.

Nihon Falcom was one of the pioneers of the action RPG genre, to which most of their best-known games belong. With their Dragon Slayer, Xanadu, and Ys series of action RPGs the company has established itself as one of the most influential developers in the genre. One of the key features in many of their games (particularly early titles) was "bumping" combat, which made action-based battles possible without the use of a separate "action" key or button.
