With this game being supported and working, and also some informative details being provided, the game will become a bit more known by users. A flyer find in the future would be a bonus.
At first, I was guessing that the New Digimatic company had outsourced some business in Asia market to manufacture the game in Asia region, but maybe still too expensive for that method. The most cost effective solution would be to do an outright purchase of surplus pcbs and import into Italy. When surplus pcbs arrive, hire a temporary crew of temporary staff to modify the pcbs to meet European hardware specific standards and then release the final product in hopes the product is a marketable success.
I now believe that was how it was done back then for that particular game. As before, my thanks to those involved along the way of getting this game to being preserved and playable.
