Illustrations of this package is prepared two versions of red and blue. Because of the beautiful designs, it seemed to be very trouble with the manufacturer and the distributor side of Korea " which should we use ?

Although it has passed a long time since release of the first title, the deep-rooted popularity has been realized release of " Brandish 2 ". Are there the reason of the popularity of this series because of the point which Dela is highly humorouse or Dela's nice body ? ( Oh, no !

Recently in a lot of news from Taiwan, the joyful news has been sent from Korea after a long time. At last the most popular game "White Witch" of "The Legend of Heroes" series has been sold. I guess that the staffs would make efforts to translate vast scenario into Korean. Beside it seems that they made further improvement to win the sympathy of many people of Korea. Though I'm interested in the response, as I wrote in column, we hear many distributers of personal computer software are going bankrupt in Korea now. So the each software maker of Korea seems to decide the policy as refraining from release of the newest software till this situation calm down. I wish that the market of Korea become the one which Korean users can get a good software early.

Products under Falcom's license which are sold at the pace of one tittle per month in Taiwan. Owing to this, names of "Falcom" and products seems to spread over Taiwan. February for Taiwan is just the New Year of the old calender, and I hear sales of game softs before long vacation is higher like Japan. But the market seemed to be a little inactive, because many people in Taiwan had gone on trips (especially to Japan, Hong Kong, Guam, etc). In Japan sales don't concentrate to summer vacation and Christmas as it used to be, too. Will it mean that the market of Taiwan is apt to approach to it of Japan?
