'''Atlus''' ({{ja|株式会社アトラス|Kabushiki gaisha Atorasu}}, ''Atlus Corporation'') is a Japanese video game developer, publisher and distributer. The company was founded on April 7th, 1986 as a development studio for other companies. One of their early successes was a partnership with [[Bandai Namco|Namco]] in 1987 to release ''{{iw|wikipedia|Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei}}'', a video game adaptation of the OVA of the same name, itself based on the series of novels of the same name. Atlus would also start self-publishing their own games with ''{{iw|wikipedia|Puzzle Boy}}'' in 1989. Atlus also had an investment in the arcade industry, forming a working relationship with [[Sega]] in 1995 to distribute the {{iw|wikipedia|Purikura}} brand of photo booths. Atlus would acquire several other companies through the 1990's, but would accrue debt that would lead to a financial deficit by 2000. | '''Atlus''' ({{ja|株式会社アトラス|Kabushiki gaisha Atorasu}}, ''Atlus Corporation'') is a Japanese video game developer, publisher and distributer.
