About Jorudan Games
Jorudan is a Tokyo-based software company established in 1979. While primarily recognized for its transit information services, the company entered the home console market during the 1980s, producing software for the Famicom and Super Famicom systems.
The developer focused on simulation and strategy genres. Jorudan’s primary contribution to the 16-bit era was the development of the Earth Light series, a tactical simulation game released for the Super Famicom in 1992, which utilized grid-based movement and resource management mechanics.
Beyond console titles, the company maintains a long-standing history of developing utility software for personal computers. The transition from game development to transit data services remains a unique trajectory in the Japanese software industry, as Jorudan shifted its focus almost exclusively to digital infrastructure by the mid-1990s.
