I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this already on the RX Forums, but I figured it was worth repeating here because it's something I'm still quite curious about.
There is a game which is credited to Sintax called "Zhong Zhuan Qi Bing". More specifically, there's no in-game credit, but the ROM ID is "SINTAX MM V1007" - and since the game was inspired by the Famicom RPG "Metal Max", it seems like this is probably the right ID. It also has the boot logo which, if you sort of squint at it, looks like "Kwichuu" or "Kwichvu"-- another sign suggesting it's by Sintax. I believe this may be the same game as
"Raider Max" on Sintax' now-defunct site, though it's hard to tell because the image wasn't archived with it.
Now here's the interesting part. This game uses the same music as "Super SLG", which is credited in-game to SKOB. It's also in the "Final Fantaxy IX" (sic) game that taizou owns, which is credited to TD-Soft. And aside from that, it's
also in "Saishuu Gensou", a.k.a. "Final Fantasy Unlimited Saga", which has no in-game logo but also uses the "Kwichuu" boot logo associated with Sintax.
It's also very similar in style to the music used in Sintax' "True Three Kingdoms" (a.k.a. "Sangokushi Act C"), though as far as I know, none of the
tunes are the same. (Then again, I haven't played very far in any of them. Anyone know if there's any overlap?)
So... is this music taken from a legitimate licensed game? Or is it just a bunch of pirates stealing each other's code? Were Sintax and SKOB in cahoots, or did they just steal from the same places? Because these are some curious coincidences indeed.
