Oh - almost all the Mahou Shoujo of the eighties were there.
Agreed. Before America received dubbed versions of
Sailor Moon by DIC Entertainment and
Cardcaptor Sakura by Nelvana, the western European countries, that is Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, and West Germany, acquired magical girl anime that were dubbed into their local languages respectively. Shows included were
Sally the Witch,
Majokko Megu-chan,
Hana no Ko Lunlun, and
Magical Princess Minky Momo, to name a few, were still fondly remembered by kids who grew up watching these shows. Additionally, these shows were also popular in Latin America, where Spanish dubs were aired. And the Italian cartoon shows,
W.I.T.C.H. and
Winx Club, take heavy influence from
Sailor Moon in terms of premise and artstyle.

I've also discovered that Megatech Software, in real life, did attend E3 1995. I first found this piece of evidence while I was researching the company. It was a map of the venue for E3 1995 along with a list of exhibiting companies. This article was found in the June 1995 issue of
GamePro magazine, which published this article as part of a special feature on the then-upcoming trade event and upcoming games.
According to the map and the accompanying list, Megatech's placement in the venue was at booth #3524. However, I cannot seem to pinpoint its exact location in the map. If anyone has the time, please find the exact locations where their booth was located at in the map.
Since the image obtained is too large for the forum, I'll post this as a link:

As my final remarks before resume writing the next entry of the chapter by next week, assuming I have sufficient free time and opportunity to research and write.
For anyone wondering what will happen in the following chapter, it's a closely-guarded secret to avoid spoiling further events. But I'll drop you a hint - Megatech Software localizes a game, whose name shall remain an enigma, in their very first localization subcontracting work for another company. The name is not
Fire Emblem by Nintendo, by the way. Rather, it's the first installment of an extremely popular Japan-exclusive game series, which was released for the PC Engine, or for American readers, TurboGrafx-16. Also guest-starring in the chapter, a certain small
bishoujo game developer in Akibahara. You may know that name.
