Simgis Incorporated is a Yurkish company who was involved in the development of some games (especially their Japanese versions).

Grimun established Simgis in 1978 under the name Grimun Studios. In 1995 it was renamed Simgis Games Corporation ("Games" was added in 2000 but never put in actual use), and in 2012 they closed down themselves only to come back on November 2, 2012 incorporated instead of being a corporation.

Etymology[]

The name "Simgis" was coined in 1995.

"Sim" comes from the Sim games (like SimCity for example). "gis" stands for Grimun Studios, the name used prior to 1995. That Simgis would work on Japanese versions of certain games would not become a thing till the late 90s and happened because of the N64 version of SimCity 2000 and the 64DD game SimCity 64.
