Gamest was notorious for typos and print errors—one of my favs was when they accidentally advertised an Akuma unlock code for Dodonpachi

speaking of, Platine Dispositif released a remake of one of their mid-'00s doujin games on Switch this week, and both the title & subtitle are references to two of Gamest's more notorious typos store-jp.nintendo.com/list/software/…🇯🇵
"Zangyura" references a common misspelling of Zangief, and "Maid-san o migi ni" is a play on a famous misprinted phrase about the game Scud Race, "Indo-jin o migi ni!(Indian to the right!)" where whoever was doing the typesetting misread "handle(ハンドル)" as "Indian(インド人)"
incidentally, both of those typos have been officially referenced by Capcom & Sega, respectively:
Zangyura's the canonical name of Zangief's Midnight Bliss form
& this Chunithm song by Shinji Hosoe's titled "The Wheel to the Right"
