SNK

Company that created the Neo Geo. Stands for Shin Nihon Kikaku (New Japan Project). Operated from 1978-2001. Began creating arcade games in the late ‘70s, created a number of popular series (like Ikari Warriors) in the early ‘80s and ported many of them onto computers and the venerable NES. In 1989, SNK entered the home system market with the Neo Geo, the first ‘premium’ home system. Hit with a serious of growing financial problems starting in the late ‘90s, SNK finally closed on Oct. 22, 2001. Gamers everywhere mourned. The company may live on in a new form outside of Japan, but this has yet to be 100% confirmed.

It's so Sad that SNK closed down.

BTW, SNK USA is back up but I don't know if that counts?

SNK stands for : Shin Nihon Kaikau
(i think i spelled it right) which means New Japan Project.But NJP would sound gay in english so they went for a SNK hehee.
