Need some help requesting the proper Publisher for the Atari 2600 [EU] title Tom Boy (Pit Fall)
https://vgcollect.com/item/275197 (a hack of Activision's Pitfall!). This is an exclusive [IT] title, and according to the box, the title is
distributed by GRAD.DI. S.r.l., and it is
manufactured in Taiwan by MAX'ER Technologies, Inc. GRAD. DI. imported an Atari 2600 clone to Italy in 1989, called the Matra 3600, and supported it with essentially bootlegged games. According to GRAD.DI.'s wiki on
https://bootleggames.fandom.com/wiki/GRA.DI._S.r.l., they worked with two separate manufacturers, MAX'ER and Kingsway, each of which can be identified by the address printed on the box (explained in the Wiki). In this particular case, MAX'ER is identified as the manufacturer, but, who do I request as a publisher? GRAD.DI. S.r.l. or MAX'ER Technologies? Atarimania identifies the publisher by just grouping MAX'ER and Kingsway together with no mention of GRAD.DI.
I failed to mention that in all cases, GRAD.DI. S.r.l. is identified as the distributor on the boxes. However, in only certain cases is the manufacturer identified, and in most instances is inferred by the address given for GRAD.DI. as mentioned in the Wiki. This makes me lean toward requesting GRAD.DI. as the publisher, but your input on this would be appreciated.
