>>> TRIVIA
----------
Video Games GMBH (located in the town of Lich in Germany) started as an unauthorized version manufacturer (i.e. : Space Attack) founded by Mr. Reinhard Stompe. When the European countries changed their laws to protect the original creators, they started to develop their own arcade games. However, only two original games from Video Games GMBH are known to exist : 'Super Tank' (1981) and 'Looping' (1982). Video Games GmbH was sold to Ican Data GmbH (Munich) in 1987 for US $10 million.
