Since Micropin was a public company at the time, I have their annual report. The relationship didn't last long as Elcon's major legal troubles started soon afterward and they eventually closed down show.

Since they were really after the US with this game, they decided they'd rather send all their PCBs to the USA, and collect from Falcon at home. Of course, they really should have known better. Falcon continued making the game, and did export it, and the other bootleggers also got their hands on it.zaphodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466815391888219877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8167179463808604240.post-37098756755414414522012-11-28T18:33:08.255-06:002012-11-28T18:33:08.255-06:00Keith, your mention of Elcon got me to google them...Keith, your mention of Elcon got me to google them, and I ran across this: http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=thumbs&db=videodb&id=5709 An Atari Kiosk/Theatre copy-cat.
