Near the end of UPL's business, Tsutomu Fujisawa (March 8, 1959 ~ February 28, 1998) later established a new video game company called Scarab, which renamed itself several years later as feelplus.

In May 2016, UPL sold its rights to Hamster Corporation who then released the company's games through the Arcade Archives lineup.
