MileStone Inc.[a] was a Japanese video game developer. The team was composed mostly of ex-Compile developers who left to form their own company. They were best known for shoot 'em up games developed for the Dreamcast and its arcade counterpart, the Sega NAOMI.
History
[edit]The company had one subsidiary, MileStone Vietnam Co. Ltd., established on August 1, 2007 as an authorized game software developer by Nintendo of America.[citation needed]
In March 2013, Hiroshi Kimura, the president of MileStone, was arrested for violations of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act for his activities while selling shares of a new company called MS Bio Energy. Both companies closed as a result.[1]
