Gamtec (Chinese: 三協資訊; pinyin: Sān Xié Zī Xùn) is a video game developer established in June 1989 and based in Taichung City, Taiwan[1][2] noted for its unlicensed Sega Mega Drive games such as Legend of Wukong[3] and Squirrel King. His motto would have to be: Believe in yourself (Chinese: 相信自己; pinyin: Xiāng Xìn Zì Jǐ).

Not to be confused with Shenzhen Gamtec Electronic Technology, a Chinese video game accessory and computer peripheral manufacturer.

The company also developed a number of NES[4] and PC[5] games, and claims to have developed for the Gamate, Super A'Can, Arcade, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance,[6][7] although it often acted as a contract developer for other companies so is frequently not credited in games it worked on.
