| - | Crazy Games was a Japanese game developer active between 1999 and 2000. They were originally known as Climax Graphics, but changed their name to avoid confusion with [[Climax Entertainment]] and [[Climax Group]]. Coincidentally (or not?), their late producer and writer [[Shinya Nishigaki]] had previously worked on [[Climax Group]]'s //[[Landstalker]]//. Both of their games were released only on the Dreamcast. It took some time for them to find their groove: //[[Blue Stinger]]// is a sluggish //[[Resident Evil]]// clone of questionable quality, but //[[Illbleed]]// is regarded as an unsung classic and a considerable artistic achievement. Prior to Nishigaki's fatal heart attack and the company's dissolution, they were working on Xbox ports of both these games with the developer [[Cool Cool]]. | + | **Crazy Games** was a Japanese game developer active between 1999 and 2000.
