    Apparently we could've had an English release of Xanadu back in the '80s, but Falcom dun goofed:

    "Originally, Xanadu contained artwork directly lifted from the manuals of the Origin Systems role-playing game Ultima III: Exodus. This was not discovered by Origin and series creator Richard Garriott until they flew into Tokyo to have a meeting with Nihon Falcom about having Origin release Xanadu in the US, as well as having Falcom help with releasing a port of Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar in Japan. During the presentation of the game, several digitized pictures from the manual of Ultima III appeared in various shops in the game. Upon seeing this, Garriott and Origin ended the meeting and decided to sue Falcom; the lawsuit was settled out of court and the artwork in the game was changed to what appears now." (from Wikipedia/The Official Book of Ultima)

    Well... that must've been embarrassing. Why even plagiarize content when you have the ability to make your own?
