UPL Co., Ltd (株式会社ユーピーエル), formally known as Universal Play Land (ユニバーサルプレイランド), was a video game production company headquartered in Oyama, Tochigi, Japan. It was founded as a subsidiary of Universal Entertainment. Even none of the staff remember when exactly it was founded. In 1984, it was renamed as "UPL Co. Ltd". The company filed for bankruptcy in March 1992.
Near the end of UPL's business, Tsutomu Fujisawa later established a new video game company called Scarab, which renamed itself several years later as feelplus.
