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.

I'd personally lean towards GRAD.DI. as well, for it's the company that legally distributed the product on it's intended market (Italy, I guess?).

The entry in question has the following text on the bottom of the box scan:
"Prodotto in Taiwan da MAX'ER Technologies, Inc."
"Distribuito da GRAD.DI. S.r.l. - P. le Dateo 6, 20129 Milano"

But as mentioned, this is the exception, not the rule.  Other Matra 3600 game boxes just identify GRAD.DI. as the distributor with no mention of manufacturer.

Here is the ebay auction that I obtained the scans from:  https://www.ebay.it/itm/166848090576?_skw=Tom+Boy+Atari+2600&itmmeta=01JBSF791P8A50Y3JVGCN3EJDJ&hash=item26d8ebd1d0:g:YS4AAOSwu6FmgVLc&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKmHbUj39nSquh%2B80JTk8wgi5lLPSABZQ1IDZiX4MFqd%2FHddEWjYO5LrYH%2BrTtJXKaQdfMArbQEKFw%2FTpMXgq31%2FBX4N%2B5vmNwHvuETZDBT3q5N9%2Fq6X%2FUUsOmokRXHCNsM0DJr1UnMijnq6qEjppwLL3us4yz5l%2BSaUsIrHLM28S4vK1Rw6pHHjVO9xyQZzKuTU0tA5JCDf%2FV%2FtiG8--uRGcTkho2Xccef4UCb4jmZr9DrIGzdjF0MJlqKx8%2Bx5bmg%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_qQna_eZA

It seems to me that at this time, the publisher is unknown. You may want to try to find someone who is more of an expert in regards to these game releases.
