Working Designs was an
American video game publisher that specialized in the localization of
Japanese role-playing video games,
strategy video games and
top-down shooters for various platforms. Though the company had published many 'cult hits', it was known best to fans as the long-time exclusive US publisher of the
Lunar series. The company was one of the few game publishers that attempted to bridge the cultural gap between the Japanese and American video game industries during the 1990s with an eclectic selection of releases from various genres, and was also one of the earliest American publishers to make use of the
CD-ROM format for full, spoken English dialogue in their products at a time when
voice acting was not a common feature in most mainstream games.
