oh yeah, and that whole Gamtec thing explains a lot, all those companies around Taichung that seemed to share staff and resources and stuff... i guess Gamtec was the centre of that whole operation. they probably supported development and supplied tools and stuff (except with C&E, i suppose they were pretty self sufficient) right up to the last few Sintax games in the mid(?) 2000s, as well as making a few games in-house themselves. which is kinda interesting because way back when I first noticed a bunch of Taiwanese games using the same fonts, before I knew they were from PC Paint or anything, my first assumption was that they were all made by Gamtec. i've found out a hell of a lot more since then but in a way I was right
and one thing i read in one of maxzhou88's blog posts recently, he mentioned Super Game's music was outsourced to a taiwanese company which ported the original MD games' music to their own (stolen) sound engine.. so i suppose that was almost certainly Gamtec.
