Yep, they also made Crash Bandicot, Diablo and Narnia 3. Well "made" it's not the right word i think, the only thing that they do was to hack the tittle screans of Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel, Legend of Galahad and Fatal Labyrinth :D [/quote]...and I thought that group disbanded long time ago.
Although it may be a completely different Kudos group, not the one I know. You know whether they have been making PlayStation releases?- Title: Simba's Battle City

they also made translations for Dreamcast games such as Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 and Resident Evil 3, i have no idea if there's the same company that made this Battle City games or not. who knows actually.

And quite interesting finds you have here. I would personally never know that Tommy Xie actually released two more games for the Russian-speaking market... Broken Russhen for the win! :P
Okay, here's some additional information on those Battle City bootlegs for all ye who didn't downloaded it yet.
- Super Mario Bros. + Battle City multicart appears to have almost pixel-perfect ports of the both games.
- There are overall four games that use the same Battle City engine with several modifications: the original port itself, Tanks Classic, Tanks 2011 and (believe it or not) Pirates of the Carribean 4: On Stranger Tides.
- Battle City is the only game on this engine to have Construction mode. >_<
- The Arcade and Quest modes in Tanks Classic represent the original BS maps and the all-new ones correspondingly.
- Tanks 2011 rips the title screen off another BS clone, but this time, a legit one and released on mobile phones, called Tanchiki.
- It also appears to copy the headquarters' design from King Tank by Gamtec.

Here's the download if you want to give it a chance.
