Studio Fazzy Co., Ltd. was a Japanese unlicensed adult video game developer, notable for the relatively-high production values of their two known Sega Mega Drive titles.

Company

The unique Sega Mega Drive cartridge used by both the company's released games.

Studio Fazzy was one of among many unlicensed adult software developers established to cater to the home console market. However, unlike the majority of these companies (which were often based in Taiwan), Studio Fazzy was headquartered in Japan and staffed by Japanese developers, and most notably - its games were only released domestically. The company took notable strides to act as a legitimate business (even publishing its real address in its manuals[1]), and the production quality of their work generally far surpasses other unlicensed adult software companies.

Cartridge design

Both Studio Fazzy's games feature the same cartridge design, appearing similar in shape to Sunsoft's rounded Mega Drive cartridges but with the lower section of each side removed. The extra clearance afforded by the cartridge's slimmer lower half is a purposeful design choice by the developer, and allows the company's games to be inserted into any Sega Mega Drive system, regardless of region or shell.
