Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. HAL Laboratory, Inc. is a Japanese video game developer that was founded on February 21, 1980. Its name comes from the HAL 9000 computer in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey. The company is most famous for its character Kirby, the protagonist of the eponymous game series, as well as the Super Smash Bros. series. It is an independent studio, creating games exclusively for Nintendo. HAL Laboratory started off making games for the MSX system and the Commodore VIC-20. During the early 1980s, some of their games since the 1986 Family Computer Disk System game Gall Force: Eternal Story (based on the anime film of the same name) have been released also on Nintendo systems. In many of its games during the early to mid-''90s it used the name HALKEN (derived from their literal Japanese name "HAL KENky sho") as well as HAL Laboratory. Some of its early titles were also released as HAL America, a North American subsidiary of the company. The current president of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, was a former president of HAL.
