Edit: It was an issue of wolf weekly (aka 疾風快報) from the late 90s. Their url is gamewolf.com.tw
It was issue NO.41 if I am reading this right (I don't know how to read traditional Hanzi)

Post by: Ankos on May 08, 2021, 09:20:31 PM: The one on the magazine I am pretty sure was the same as one of the ads on this (http://www.nesworld.com/gbx-gowingame.php)old nesworld page on gowin. There are a lot of companies that throw in ads for games in their manual, but here (https://m.ruliweb.com/hobby/board/300431/read/30554908?cate=218&view=gallery&page=3) is a neat example. If you scroll down you'll see that Sintax included an ad for Zook Hero 3 in the manual for an ultraman game.

Post by: Ankos on May 12, 2021, 12:54:40 PM: I just remembered a friend of mine asked yy小龙虾 about Super Rockman once and was sent a picture of this box on twitter

Post by: Stoffhimel on May 15, 2021, 09:29:11 AM: is there any adds for any of their other games on the backs of the boxes?
Title: Re: pirate adds...
Post by: Ankos on May 15, 2021, 12:44:56 PM: I have no idea. There probably are some, but I don't have that many pictures of Sintax boxes
Title: Re: pirate adds...
Post by: Stoffhimel on May 16, 2021, 08:35:05 PM: I honestly haven't seen that much of sintax carts and boxes on line, either. boxes for pirate games seem to be pretty rare.

Post by: Ankos on May 16, 2021, 10:31:12 PM: They seem pretty abundant on Xianyu, though I don't know many English speakers that post about finding stuff there
Title: Re: pirate adds...
Post by: Stoffhimel on May 18, 2021, 08:54:29 AM: maybe thats my issue. I always search english google and stuff like that.

On the wiki people no longer consider this a Makon game due to its maker code, but it was definitely sold by the same distributor as Makon’s games, and was even released in a rumble cart. Also it uses their copy protection
