For many years, SIMS developed exclusively for Sega-made game systems. 1999 was the first year its games appeared on a non-Sega machine (the portable Bandai WonderSwan). It went on to make games for the Sony PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, and others. The following is a list of its more well-known titles:
- Out Run 2019
- Sega Bass Fishing (Sega Dreamcast version)
