3DO Overview

UEP System were a publisher of Vivid Interactive titles (They were literally imported as is and a system whacked on the back), and released several, they had a different package for the Vivid Sampler that remains lost in the wild somewhere and may shed some light on other cancelled Vivid titles that never made it. They also made Cool Borders for the Playstation, so who knows, they may have been destined for the 3DO.

Overview

UEP Systems (ウエップシステム) was a Japanese video game developer founded in 1985. They were best known for their PlayStation-era snowboarding games, though they also released titles for PlayStation 2, Dreamcast, Neo Geo Pocket, and arcade.

History

UEP Systems' most critically acclaimed title is 1997's Cool Boarders 2 for the PlayStation, an early pioneering title of the "action sports" video game genre. The studio's biggest creative release was the quirky 3D action/adventure title Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman, the studio's only non-sports game, which received sub-par reviews but gained a small amount of cult appeal among gamers at the time. Despite the success of their early snowboarding titles, UEP struggled financially in the years that followed with a series of commercially unsuccessful games. After the release of Cool Boarders: Code Alien - another poor seller - for the PlayStation 2 in 2000, the studio disbanded in 2001.
