That's interesting. It has the model number WG-30 on it so presumably there were at least a few more made Can I ask where you got it Brendan? pulse8

My mother in law, but she got it from another family a few years back in a box of stuff, I think they may have got it from mayasia / indonesia area. I'm not sure of it's origions, and going by the fact theres not a brand name on it anywhere I think the model number means squat,
lol

I had one of these ages ago and sold it. I'm sure the maker was systema. I've a feeling it looked slightly different to this one, though.
OH, hold on, just looked on my website and mine was called Bank Raid by Systema. It was virtually the same as this one you've got, but a different name. I dunno if I still have a piccy.
Andy.

I've alreay PM'd you, Innis, but coincidentally, work re-started last week. Expect an update within the next couple of days, hopefully.
Andy.
p.s. Have you really been going back frequently? It's nice to hear my work is so anticipated!

Yer, I posted origionally because of it's likeness background to bomb sweeper, and wanted to dicusss copyright issues etc But my thread got moved as it seems it's not G&W'y enough Are we trying to promote and encourage posting? or are we just going too legalistic with no grey at all, context please.... Anyhow, my next point was how can other companys get away with this? or maybe nintendo is liciensing from someone else? -B

Well, we all know companies got away with it previously. There are more or less exact copies of mickey mouse/egg from Elektronika. I think it's unlikely that this was a licensed copy, or it would have been better! Andy.

The Goldstar Jumper I have is also in the same boat as this I'd say; maybe even more so as the actual game and display are exactly the same as Parachute. Waddya reckon? pulse8

Yer, theres quite a few clones around, I'm "thinking" about writing a FAQ on clones, I'm just not sure how complex it may get....
At least it would be the first information stored on the russian clones etc, and may be useful. after all I have no idea how many there are...
