Overview
Pack-In-Video was a Japanese developer and publisher. While primarily known for publishing games, Pack-In-Video also developed many games for the Japanese market as well, sometimes using the alternate title Pack-In Soft to distinguish its development studios from its publishing arm. Occasionally these games would receive overseas releases. Though Pack-In-Video began with MSX games, they would become known primarily for their console output. In October 1996 the company merged with the video game division of Victor Entertainment to become Victor Interactive Software. At this point the Pack-In-Video brand was effectively defunct.
