Hmmmmm. Looking at my boxes I have a mixture of Taichung and China addresses - there's one (The Incredibles) with the China address from as late as 2005, and the earliest with the Taichung address is Lion King from 2003 which has the sticker. Without exception though all the ones with the China address were bought from China and the ones with the Taichung address were bought from Taiwan.
So I guess they had both offices all along, and they just printed different boxes depending on the country the game was sold in - but earlier on they only printed them with the Chinese address (since China was the bigger market I guess) and stickered them for Taiwan. Taiwan seems to have been the only place they released those GBA-sized GBC carts, though.
Incidentally
this trademark filing from 1994 has the same Taichung address as the latest game boxes, so it seems like they didn't even move in all that time.
oh yeah, another odd thing: all the GB-size Sintax games I have from Taiwan (only about three, admittedly) are in generic grey "GAME" carts, whereas everything i have from China or elsewhere uses their own custom cart design. But the seemingly Taiwan-only GBA-size carts are based on the larger design and even come in the same colours.[/quote]Could you show me a picture of the one with the China address from 2005? I take it that this was in the normal Gameboy sized box, and not one of those pseudo GBA carts?
All of the fake GBA carts I have, have the Taiwan address printed on them direct, no stickers, or anything else.
Most of the GBC Sintax games I have are in generic gray cartridges, and the vast majority were purchased in Taiwan. Some of the games have the China address showing, but after 2003 November, the ones I have are all Taiwan address, if I can recollect properly wht I noticed from this morning.
