![Hirohisa Komanome, programmer at Ikegami Tsushinki,
who were contracted to make the Donkey Kong arcade:
Once we received a telex from an overseas company inquiring about the program of Donkey Kong. [...] I remember that it was a request to modify the program, to change Donkey Kong to their company's brand. It was easy to disassemble program ROMs and dump them in ASCII code with the development tools available then. Knowing that the bootleggers would begin their analysis of the hardware by disassembling and dumping the code, we inserted the following message at the end of the program as a joke:
CONGRATULATION !
IF YOU ANALYSE
DIFFICULT THIS
PROGRAM,WE WOULD
TEACH YOU.*****
TEL.TOKYO-JAPAN
044(244)2151
EXTENTION 304
SYSTEM DESIGN
IKEGAMI CO. LIM.
The company that sent us that telex had read this message, and they contacted us directly. All four of us were surprised. Naturally, we refused the request.
