I'm curious to know the whole list of parody companies, like I know these:

Inlet=Intel

Morotola=Motorola

Toshina=Toshiba

IAM=IBM

IMD=AMD

But I have no idea about these:

NIC=?

Zelog=?

Element=?

Fastchild=?

Sekkusu=?

Would it be possible to give an updated list with every update maybe?

Hi,

NIC is equivalent to NEC, Zelog is like Zilog, Fastchild is similar to Fairchild. The rest of the companies are completely made up (though Element's logo is inspired by Apple's old logo).

We are missing one company (maybe more): MOS. Their 6502 was legendary and even though they didn't make it to the present day, they should still be included

Oh we're missing at least half a dozen

In the next update, the names should be changed to real-world ones and so should the logos.

They likely decided to err on the side of caution by changing the names slightly.

I was talking about this to my friend, and according to him Element is a real company lol
