Yes he is, and I am too... And this is why:

The problem is, in Japan they thought the market in Europe was gone, so
they didn't make them in English anymore,

All Japanese in a time Martos cracked games and therefore Japan wasn't
interrested in making games for the European market because everybody
wanted to copy them in stead of buying the originals, or else I think MSX
would be still very much alive on commercial bases as well as we do now...
Ah well... Ancient history now... too bad those companies stopped making
games for MSX because they could see possibillties, better commercial
setting and better protections from copies...
