In 1998, SystemSoft spun off their video game business into SystemSoft Production. In 1999, Alpha Shock was founded, and SystemSoft invested 25.1% of the initial capital. In 2001, SystemSoft sold all investments of Alpha Shock, and they transferred the video game business from SystemSoft Production to Alpha Shock. Alpha Shock were renamed to SystemSoft Alpha, although they are independent from SystemSoft. The main website for the game division, regardless of platform, is now SystemSoft Alpha, but "Alpha" still is not seen in the logo of the company on game boxes. Only a handful of the dozens of games in their portfolio have ever been translated to make it to English-speaking markets, including two
Master of Monsters games for the
Sega Genesis and
Sony PlayStation (
Disciples of Gaia), and some of the
Daisenryaku games (
Iron Storm,
Daisenryaku VII,
Daisenryaku VII Exceed). Part of the reason for this is that the main platform for their games for almost a decade was the
NEC PC-9801. However, several of their games were remakes of
Infocom games for the PC-98 system. Since Infocom was an American company, these games were released to English-speaking markets first. In 2019, the company changed the name from SystemSoft Alpha to SystemSoft Beta. ==Notable games==
