Romtec? Gongoll? Nentone?

Hi , I just got this game :

It's obviously the same game as Romtec Cosmic Invaders :
http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Romtec/CosmicInvaders.htm

It was distributed in France, hence "Envahisseurs de l'Espace" , but since it has no stickers on the front or under it, any idea under which brand was sold?
Thank you .
Alex

It's like those French have a different word for everything!

I've got one of these too... I think mine has a Romtec sticker where the marquee usually is.

I believe these games are actually made by Romtec, regardless of the stickers on them. I opened one up and saw Romtec's name etched on the circuit board inside, so that kind of leans to them actually making them...

The stickers that are put in the 'marquee' space are probably easily peeled off (or the glue dries over the years and they fall off), and some re-sellers don't even bother branding them at all...

Yes that is what I think too, and I propend for a Nentone re-sold \ re-branded game. I dont think they would have called it in french if it was branded Romtec (it had a sticker on the front as I've cleaned its glue residue). I think that the final word will be given by someone who actually has the boxed game. Linda!! Laughing
