Not for MSX, but they published a few Master System games by Open: Also Spider-Man for Mega Drive. Possibly more, but that's all I've seen so far.by derboo - MSX Library
I noticed Super Penguin is listed under Zemina for developer and publisher. Don't remember if I mentioned it, but i'm convinced it has to be attributed to SIECO (because of the product ID).by derboo - MSX Library
I only just noticed that my other thread would have belonged into a different subforum... I've got pics of the covers for all issues of the Korean MSX magazine. They're photographed and not perfect because of the way they're stored at the library (even have to edit out my thumb for many of them, as I had to somehow hold the pages fixed).

Here's one more. I'm posting this because these are apparently legit releases. Advertised in 1984, a company called Qnix published a few MSX games. Recognizable are a partly translated Pairs (game by ASCII, Korean Title 짝찾기) and Midnight Building.

Yeah, the whole industry was built upon bootlegging, as it was legal in Korea until 1987 (and pre-1987-copyright games were still legal to bootleg afterwards, so it continued for a while). Similar amounts of releases exist for each of the other bootlegging companies (Prosoft, Clover, Zemina, Aproman, as well as to a lesser degree by smaller producers like Mickey Soft, Screen Software, Softmen, Stby derboo - MSX Library

Here are logos for Uttum and Saeron, taken from advertisements. I also expanded the entry on the Topia Gongmo-jip in my article with more info and better images...

Oh, I almost forgot, I found a Korean blog post about Seulgidori a while ago, showing that the actual developer was Space (I've seen that name before, I think they may have also sold bootlegs?).

With logos, data, images, etc., that would be no problem. As for full text like in the profiles, would it be possible to put a source link to HG101?

Everything post-1987 couldn't have been just copied and advertised in a magazine with another title. It is possible (even likely, IMHO) they were based on other games, though (Like Super Bioman 4 is based on Clover's Super Bros. World I, whith switched graphics and stages). As for getting better info and maybe even software, it depends. I'm scouting several Korean message boardsby derboo - MSX Library
You probably guessed it, but now I can confirm the existence of Super Bioman I, II and III. Done by "Hello Soft", they started being advertised together all of a sudden in mid-1992. Unfortunately, I've got no screenshots, but the cover artwork from the advertisement. I've only taken a photo of part 1, as all three are exactly the same save for the number.by derboo - MSX Library
The title is just a transcription of the English one: 슈퍼 펭귄 In the upper left corner it reads "for use with Daewoo Electronics Zemmix"by derboo - MSX Library
It was reported in a Korean Computer magazine (the story appeared in 1991, but it said the stuff was shipped in July 1990), stating Saehan Sangsa as the seller. I'm not 100% sure of the relationship between Saehan Sangsa and Zemina. Some sources suggests that Zemina was part of Saehan, but it could also have been some kind of publishing partnership.

The serial number strongly suggests that it (Super Penguin) was sold by SIECO (SI-, four numbers & a letter, same format as a SIECO Master System game I own). The labels don't make complete sense, anyway, as it is advertised for Zemmix (which would mean MSX1) and MSX2. Maybe it meant that it ALSO runs on MSX2...

All I got left for now are sole screenshots for two games in a Clover ad. I guess a game would need a title for it to be entered into the database?

I did some searching on Salamander II, and found a Korean MSX site that claims it is actually Gofer no Yabou Episode II / Nemesis 3. That game was originally released in 1988, so Zemina couldn't have just copied and officially advertised it. So they'd have to license it. That is curious because it would be the only game they did this for. EDIT: Checked back with the database, and itby derboo - MSX Library
