Trivia[]
- C&E also appears to have been involved in the manufacture or distribution of copiers, as it was sued in 1996 by Nintendo of America for marketing these devices.[3]
- Strip Fighter II for the PC Engine by Hacker International was based on C&E's Super Fighter code.[citation needed]
- Two unlicensed Mega Drive games originally released in China by Dragon Co., Baoxiao Sanguo (爆笑三國) and 超級大富豪 (named Top Billionare [sic] in English on the game's title screen), use the same sound engine and sound effects found in C&E's known titles for the system. It is unknown how their sound engine was obtained for these games, but it is unlikely that C&E were involved in their development.
- C&E's Chinese company name is printed on the back of the box for the Lico Cai System (立可遊戲教學系統), an extremely rare educational game system released in Taiwan.[4] It is unknown what the extent of their involvement with the system is.
- C&E worked with Philips on unknown CD-i game(s).
