About International Games System
Because of the great market potential of arcade machines and the strength of Japanese game manufacturers in the mid/high level game market, IGS in 1991 decided to set up its own brand name, develop core technology, and become a dedicated game developer for the worldwide market. Major works include combat games, intellectual games and simulation machines, which not only broke the dominance of Japanese products but also successfully established IGS as a famous Chinese brand name.
In the online games industry, IGS has taken only three short years to develop 17 titles for the PC including casual games, match games (such as Chess and Poker titles) and MMOGs.
IGS aims to focus on games industry by following the concrete goals below:
- Keep on increasing the market share of arcade/online games
- Aim to become the best game content provider.
- Aim to build up the best game R&D team, aggressively expanding overseas, and gradually become an international and world-class game manufacturer.
