About 'Project EGG'

The 1980s featured diverse platforms such as MSX, FM-7, and X1. PC games released during this era have had a significant impact on modern entertainment. However, due to media degradation and platform obsolescence, many of these games are becoming unplayable.

D4Enterprise regards retro games as part of cultural heritage and launched 'Project EGG' to preserve them. With deep respect for game content, hardware, developers, and fans, the company is committed to ensuring retro games remain playable for generations to come.
