GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Carry a piece of publishing history wherever the next trip leads. This Ultra Games Luggage Tag honors the short-lived Konami publishing label created in 1988 to expand its North American release calendar. From its first console release in June 1988 through its final releases in 1992, Ultra became a memorable name on regional game packaging. A fitting travel accessory for collectors who appreciate the stories behind the labels.
Ultra Software Corporation was a shell corporation and publishing label created in 1988 as a subsidiary of Konami of America. It was formed for the North American market during an era when a console maker's licensing rules limited a third-party publisher to five NES releases per year. Konami had been releasing more than ten games annually for the Famicom and its disk add-on in Japan, so the Ultra Games label expanded its North American annual library to ten releases. Ultra's first NES title was Metal Gear, released in June 1988. The label initially localized existing software from Japan, then also published work from other companies. Its catalog included console, handheld, IBM PC, and Commodore 64 releases. Following the 1991 North American launch of the Super NES, the annual publishing restriction was relaxed. Ultra consequently lost its purpose, and Konami dropped the label in 1992. Its final releases were Ultra Golf and World Circuit Series, both issued in March 1992. A related European subsidiary, Palcom Software Limited, continued until early 1994.
