Gaming Game (known in Japan as Futaba Games since 2001) is a company who created video games, in 2001, Their Japanese counterpart was bought by Futaba Channel (a.k.a. 2chan) for 1 million yen (9,009.09 US dollars), however, It is still called Gaming Game in the west as Americans didn't recognize Futaba Channel at the time.

History
When Atari released the Atari 2600, John King had an idea to create a gaming company, The result was Gaming Game, At the time, they make games for the Atari 2600 and Arcades.

When Donkey Kong was released, The company was bought over to Europe, founded by Alex Colour (in which their name had a British English Accent).

When Nintendo released the Famicom, Gaming Game Was bought over to Japan, their Japanese name was ゲーミングゲーム (Gēmingu Gēmu), The Japanese counterpart was founded by Yoshitake Yumezumi.

in 1990, An Australian subsidiary for Gaming Game was founded to publish games themselves instead of being published by different companies (including Nintendo and MATTEL).

on 2001, Futaba Channel was founded and bought Gaming Game Japan for 1 million yen (explained above), so Gaming Game Japan got closed in favor of a new company called Futaba Games, There are plans to bring the company to The West, but Americans and Europeans didn't know about Futaba Channel until a Wikipedia article was made, So Plans are canceled and the Gaming Game brand has been maintained for over 40 years.

on 2003, The first OS-Tan game was made by Futaba Games, it was called MEたんの冒険 (ME-Tan No Boken, literally ME-Tan's Adventure), It was released for the Super Famicom on August 12th, 1 month before the Super Famicom got discontinued, The game is 48 megabits (6 Megabytes), uses the SA-1 chip, and costs 2500 yen, The SNES has already been discontinued in the West years before the game came out, which prevented The SNES version from getting localized until the Wii virtual console.

To prevent Gaming Game from getting sued, OS-Tan games must be published by Microsoft in the West, So to get the game localized, they made a GBA version called MEたんの冒険+ (ME-Tan No Boken Purasu, literally ME-Tan's Adventure+), It added new changes within the GBA's capabilities, However, Microsoft Was too busy working on Codename Longhorn (which became Windows Vista), So Gaming Game has to localize the game first, and then bring it to Microsoft for approval, The title was changed to ME-Tan's World to avoid confusion with Kirby's Adventure.

The ME-Tan RPG concept was originally pitched to Miyamoto, but Miyamoto was too busy working on Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Then it Was pitched to Itoi, But Itoi is also busy, this time working on MOTHER 3, so the game had to be made by 1 developer, the game was released under the name of MEたんRPG (ME-Tan RPG), It is 192 megabits (24 megabytes), and has been released on the GBA in September 30th, 2003, The game has been localized as ME-Tan's Roleplay to avoid confusion with Super Mario RPG.

 * The first GG flashback games are just their Atari 2600 games ported onto the NES.
 * Most of their games in Japan had been imported into Hong Kong, though with no changes.
 * Most of their classic games stopped having GG Flashback versions due to the license being expired, for example, Looney Tunes's last GG Flashback version was on the SNES, before Sunsoft picked up the license.
