Not that strange, it doesn't look like they released anything outside France (and mostly did educational software, which might not be easy to localise and translate) and France was always ST territory in the 16-bit era. Great find, I presume its not great as a game though.

Yes, correct. France is indeed the only country where the Atari ST outsold the Amiga. The fun fact is the Amiga had a higher market share in software sales.

In other word, more ST users than Amiga users, but Amiga users bought more original titles than ST users !

So somebody must have bought that 'game' with the funny name for Amiga. Right?
