        Just a few companies. Here in Brazil we hadn't game cartridges.
All games of 16k and 32k were loaded from disk/tape. And the companies put
their name on it.
        For example, Konami's Tennis was released here without the Konami
logo, with the fake copyright of Engesoft.
        The piratehouse Nemesis stolen many things from Konami, like the
name (Nemesis and Gradius), the logo and many programs.
        Few were the companies who respected copyrights in Brazil.
