Quick-Silva manufacturer...

Post by XavSnap »

Hi all,

Quick-Silva use to be designed by the "Quick-Silva" manufacturer…

But, on all QS cards the manufacturer is INDESCOMP (Madrid / Spain).

Is it true ?

This article may clear the air: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10 ... 16.1190441

QS certainly made their own hardware. Apparently, QS licensed some games from Indescomp at one point (see the wikipedia article). That may have had something to do w/ Indescomp manufacturing QS hardware.
