I wasn't here while Martos discussion... but read again the interview.
It says (if I remember well, since I read it only a bit) that sales of
Konami games were increased with megaroms (Nemesis2 and so on).
Then if I'm not wrong, Martos 1st crack was Penguin Adventure (a bit earlier
in time). That's the reason you can't blame Martos.
But I think I said it to you once (or was it to Anne?)... Why playing
cracked games by Martos or others when you could buy those games (original)
from Japan? Just import, and play originals :)
And remember that our market never was good enough for Japan sellers (and
it'll be the same if new MSX is released (as Takamichi said)). Not only the
piracy is the problem... :(

Saeba
