Background

Sintax Technology Co. Ltd. (新特奇科技有限公司) was a Taiwanese video game company founded in Taichung, Taiwan. Originally the company developed educational PC software, but later moved to the development of unlicensed Game Boy Color games since the early 2000s, alongside publishing games developed by its related company BBD. Many of their games were unofficial bootlegs from franchises like Pokémon, Donkey Kong, Digimon, Metal Gear Solid, Crash Bandicoot, Spider-Man, and Harry Potter. The company also holds an office in the Jiangmen city of China.

Availability: Can be found on several unlicensed Game Boy Color games by the company, mostly from the franchises stated above. This may not appear in every GBC game by them, however.
