Treasure

About

A small game development studio founded by former members of Konami. They are best known for such titles as Gunstar Heroes, Radiant Silvergun, Sin & Punishment, Ikaruga, and more.

History

Treasure was founded in 1992 by a team of former Konami employees who were tired of making sequels and predictable mass market titles and wanted to create original ideas that would challenge and entertain. Their first big hit was Gunstar Heroes for the Sega Genesis which they followed up with titles such as Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga. Treasure has achieved cult status within the industry as a developer who takes risks, puts forward new ideas and challenges the routine of a sequel driven industry.
