Given that their game is called Lara Brian 2003 on one of the multicarts, I wonder if they have anything to do with the Lara Tennis Famiclone: http://www.evg2000.com/html/stand_Alone.htm
Probably not, since Lara TV Games seem to be from 1995: https://www.facebook.com/pg/LARA-TV-GAME-213801488667708/about/?ref=page_internal
"Lara TV Games" was definitely in India at some stage though, before the 2000s; some book I was reading references it being sold in Indian Bazaars.
I wonder why "Lara" is such a common name..[/quote]It's a clone of Brian Lara Cricket for the Mega Drive, hence the "Brian Lara 2003" name- I don't think Lara TV Games is especially related.
I do recall seeing a single cart version a long time ago but I don't think it was the original Mitashi release, I have no idea how it was originally released in India or if that version has the voice samples or not.. I guess it's possible the samples were recorded but dropped from the final game due to technical or ROM size restrictions.

We know that Spica distributed a Spica-branded IQ-701 ( http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/sinodisp/au/cases/cth/FCA/1992/584.html?stem=0&synonyms=0&query=title(nintendo%20) ) which the dealings were by "Keyman Electronics Co Ltd"(I can't find anything about them, but I welcome others to try -- I found https://company.gongchang.com/p-210000/18656342_6795/ but I'm not 100% it's the same thing)

2. We have some other game cartridges which is designed
by a USA company named 'TENSEN' and compatible with
Nintendo . We could get the licence from them very
soon, but the price will be a little high, as we have
to pay the licence costs. [/quote]
so I guess Spica was in contact with Tengen and willing to license their stuff for sale alongside their consoles.. I don't think that deal ever went through but there was definitely some Sachen stuff released by Spica in Famicom format.
