Ante-Comp Corporation

Ante-Comp is a fictional company set in the Mychoverse as part of the lore behind SLaYpril Fools Day: The Video Game.
==History of the Company==
In 1982 Ante-Comp, a fledgling computer company specialising in videogame software released The Power Play™ Video Game system with a small catalogue of their own original titles including The Original Turbo Chargers and Flagship mascot arcade title Power Pooch®. However, launching on the cusp of the 1982 videogame crash and staggering the release to Europe before Major Videogame Markets Japan and the US. The system had a very short shelf life and became an obscure item that only eccentric collectors were even aware existed.
In 1988, as the videogame market began to recover Ante-Comp CEO Marcus Bandwick took another shot at launching the system. This time as a handheld that aimed to tap in to the popularity of the Nintendo Gameboy®.
The Ante-Comp Pocket Play Handheld System™ was to be launched with handheld version of familiar titles such as Power Pooch® and Turbo Chargers, but Bandwick also wanted to license an outside property to bring in a new audience. After searching the market for the right candidate he discovered that Cult Slasher movie SLayPril Fools Day was due to have a sequel and worked out a deal with the company behind the film to adapt it for their 8-bit handheld.
==Trivia==
