    Around these parts at least, and Atari Age, Mr. Meston soured his reputation a few years back ripping off several people by taking their money and never sending the game stuff they paid for. So that's not too surprising to learn.

    Don't want to take this thread off topic, but yes, that's true. I've tried multiple times. From thinks it's too offensive for Americans (at least that's one of their many reasons for not licensing it). I think the game scenario is hilarious.

    Thank for finally clearing it and for attempting to bring this to the states. I hope one of these days we'll be able legitimately play this game.

    Indeed - The red card mystery has been a thorn in my side for over a decade. I just recently re-did the A. Case page at my site, I added / re-edited all the corrections mentioned here.

    Glad I could clear that up (as a side effect of clearing up the gold paintmaster Zach nonsense). If you want to fix the text on your Assassin's Case page to take off the incorrect references to (gold paint) and replace that with the correct "vacuum metallized gold finish" (the technical term for the process) or "gold plated" that would be great, and go a long way to fixing the erroneous idea that we (or anyone) could achieve that kind of mirror finish with gold paint. Scanning that page, there were 4 references to paint I saw. You talk about the letter saying the paint would wear off because of acidic sweat, but actually the letter says the gold plating could wear off, not paint.

    Ack! Good catch - I forgot to edit the actual photo captions (2 of the 4 culprits), and also found the other two. I edited them out, also retouched a few other sentences. Thanks for the page check!

    Also, I doubt you remember me, but we talked via eBay years ago (decade?! <_<), when you helped me with the Alundra variants and other WD things. I sill have the Lunar 2 you autographed for me displayed on my shelf with all the other variants. I really appreciate all the help and corrections to make sure G-R's info is right.
