Connecting LCD games specifically with Beck-Tech?

While I don't have any trouble believing Steven Beck was subcontracted to do the LCD games, I question how Beck-Tech itself is identified and not just Beck himself. It looks like around the same time that Beck-Tech merged into Lapis Technologies, another Beck-Tech company was registered as "BTQ". This entity is more likely who should be credited, even if that's a bit circumspect. I guess the real question here is: how did Beck-Tech get tied to the LCD games originally? - Scarred Sun (talk) 20:23, 25 March 2021 (EDT)

Is this other Beck-Tech related at all?

Link. Is this Beck-Tech related at all? At first I didn't think so, but... it's in Urbana, Illinois. It's kinda in the same industries (or at least began doing audio/visual/computer stuff). And it's a "family-run business" run by a "Matthew Beck". Uh it's probably not, but... Is Matthew his son? This needs a little more research. CartridgeCulture (talk) 00:37, 22 September 2021 (EDT)

Electron Video Creations mention

Mention Electron Video Creations, and if it had anything to do with games (probably not, but him founding it is at least worth a sentence). CartridgeCulture (talk) 00:45, 22 September 2021 (EDT)
