トレジャー
[b]Treasure Co., Ltd.[/b] is a Japanese [[video game]] developer based in Tokyo known for its action, platform, and shoot 'em up games. 

The company was founded in 1992 by [[Konami]] employees seeking to explore original game concepts and free themselves from Konami's reliance on sequels. 

Their first game, [[Gunstar Heroes]] (1993) on the [[Sega Mega Drive]], was a critical success and established a creative and action-oriented design style that would continue to characterize their output. 

Treasure's philosophy in game development has always been to make games they enjoy, not necessarily those that have the greatest commercial viability.

Treasure grew a cult following for their action games developed during the 90s, and though initially exclusive to [[SEGA]] platforms, they expanded to other platforms in 1997. 

The company earned recognition from critics, being called one of the best Japanese indie studios and 2D game developers. The company's output decreased in the 2010s, with their most recent release being [[Gaist Crusher God]] in 2014.
