Yep.
I consider Falcon Soft a provider of eternal happiness. FBI would put this romanticism apart and simply call them organized criminals.
But there's a NICE story behind Falcon Soft:
Falcon in fact is a fake name for Gradiente - a major brand in Brazil.
Under this "Falcon" brand Gradiente fell way too low and released many illegal bootlegs from companies like Nintendo and Konami. The design of Gradiente and Falcon's carts are even the same - black rounded cartdridges and boxes made with a very shiny and delicate paper...
In the initial releases, you can see that Falcon Soft address that doesn't match to Gradiente's. But after some time the carts received a new label - now Falcon and Gradiente are located at the same place. These later Falcon games also says they're made by "Industry G." -- very misterious, huh?
The funniest thing is that Gradiente (despite the corruption) became one of the major companies that formed Playtronic - the OFFICIAL representative of Nintendo in Brazil in the mid-1990s.
Everyone is a sinner!
