Allow me to explain: During the NES days, Nintendo limited its third-party publishers to releasing 2 games per year. Some comapnies then discovered a loophole that allowed them to publsh extra games under a different name. This is the dummy company that I'm talking about. Some of the most popular examples of dummy publishers for NES are Ultra Games (Konami), Namcot (Namco, note the extra T) and LJN (Acclaim)
