A company that had multiple businesses across various fields. Bothtec was known for the "Macross" and "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" game series'. In 1990 they acquired or merged with the videogame company Quest, making it an internal development subsidiary. Quest was used as a brand name though they may have renamed the company at the time. In 1997 the companies split with Bothtec being recreated as a new corporate entity and the development studio forming with the name Quest Corp., later known for the Ogre Battle franchise. In 2001 Bothtec, with D4Enterprise, created Project EGG an online subscription-based service with a library of their old games that was later expanded to include other companies classic titles. Due to legal issues in 2004, over Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Bothtec canceled most of their projects and eventually sold their IPs and Project EGG to D4Enterprise before becoming a subsidiary company of BBMF (now Beaglee Inc.) a mobile games company that now focuses on comic/manga distribution. In 2009 the company was dissolved after they were merged into BBMF.
