That is really cool. I never thought I'd see a pirate developer become open on this sort of thing.
From what I remember of Super Game, they were one of the better pirate developers on Nes. Their port of Lion King surpassed the official one at least. |

This is definitely front-page worthy, just a minor correction:
Quote: | I never would have considered there were strict anti-piracy measures in effect over at piracy companies |
I guess it sort of works either way, but did you perhaps mean to say "pirate companies" rather than "piracy companies"? It reads a little funny to me but maybe it's not as wrong as I thought when I started typing this response. |

Oh this got frontpaged, awesome. something else i just noticed is the mention of Realtec, which is slightly interesting - that's the company that released a few mostly piss-poor unlicensed (but entirely original) Megadrive titles in the US, and i think at some point licensed some of Codemasters' stuff for asian release, but it seems like they were also somehow behind SuperGame. |

I noticed that too, and wondered if it was just coincidence. Does anyone want to take a look at their Mega Drive games and see if there are credits of any kind? Specific names might at least point us to a region. They feel like Eastern games to me, but I don't really know that. |

Really amazing post! I definitely agree with you guys, it's really neat to hear from these unlicenced programmers years after. Hopefully this guys post encourages others to speak on their past work. |

Yeah, indeed.
Like this one. With "Lee Dan Fai" as "director" which is actually was the name of the former president of Taiwan R.O.C. from 1988. It is in Cantonese denotation form. Otherwise in Mandarin: "Lee Tang Hui". |

Oh wait, I missed the scarf. Gay cowboy then.
