Notes

This is a strange thing: the PCB is marked "Valadon Automation (C) 1983" and "Fabrique sous licence par GECAS/MILANO" (manufactured under license from GECAS/MILANO)"
But if you look in ROM 7 with an HEX editor you can see the following: "(C) 1984 ITISA" and "UN BONJOUR A JACQUES DE PEPE PETIT AND HENK" ( a good morning to Jaques from Pepe Petit and Henk". These are the programmers in ITISA, Henk Spits, Josep M. Petit, Josep Morilas, the very same 3 persons working on BOTANIC (1984)(ITISA).
Game writings in the EPROM are in English and Spanish.

So we have an English/Spanish game with a French easter egg on a French PCB manufactured under license from an Italian company! Let's call it melting pot!
