Hello.
Are any of you familiar with Front Fareast Industrial/Far Front East? It's a name you likely know if you're familiar with your history of piracy, as this is the Taiwanese company responsible for producing the Magicon, possibly the most widespread Super Famicom game copier during that console's heyday. Point is, I was researching this company and found out that in their later years, they produced a couple rhythm games for Windows and Macintosh. The one I'm interested in is a title listed on their archived website (https://web.archive.org/web/20020604183956/http://www.front.com.tw/e-wow/index.htm) called Shake Shake Wow! It's pretty obvious from the screenshots that this is some kind of Samba de Amigo clone, and looking into it further, it came with its own maraca + footpad peripheral that you would plug into your computer and play the game with. Naturally I would want to play something this crusty-looking, but after asking some Discord servers about it, the only thing that's been found is a listing on a website that requires a Taiwanese ID in order to purchase. So, I'm at a loss at the moment, and want this game to be saved just for the sake of preserving something from a pretty infamous bootlegging company.
You'd find her game, right?

UPDATE: Removed the purchase link because someone managed to get in contact with a Taiwanese person that can feasibly purchase it.
