3. Raijinou (Zettai Muteki Raijin-Oh, a robot fighting game. The game is impossible as the opponent does not lose health.)[/quote]Also, I'm not sure if that's a multicart issue, I've played that game before and it's
hard.

You have an attack and jump button, but if you only rely on the standard punch you start with you’re asking to be mauled. You can punch your opponent all day and you’ll never get it below 3 or 4 life bars. The secret lies with the Select button, which will bring you to a menu with three options: Weapon, Body, and Combine. [/quote]
It's still hard whatever you do, though.
I've played the game on emulators, and it seems to be the same way. I wish there was an english translation so I could see what the attacks and characters were called.
there is!

I found an interesting glitch in Sports 228 in 1 the other day. I started up the game, and instead of showing the typical "228 in 1" menu, it showed a different menu saying "16 in 1" and only displaying 16 games! 16 is the actual number of games on the cart. Maybe the multicart's creator was planning to state the actual number of games, but decided 16 was not enough?
I'm not sure what buttons I pressed to make it do this, but I couldn't get it to happen again. Is this common with multicarts, or a one of a kind error?
Yeah it can happen. a lot of multicarts contain several variations (usually just of the number of repeats) which are all stored in the same ROM chip to save money, so the manufacturers can sell the same PCB with multiple different labels as several "different" carts. usually they would cut a trace on the board to determine which version is loaded, but sometimes alternate versions can appear in normal use through glitches and whatnot.
BTW, are you going to post any info on the third multicart? i've been wondering about that one. :D
I'm planning to, but I lost it. I'll update this thread when I find it, which should be soon.
EDIT: I found it! I left it in my Super Game Boy. Here's the full list:
1.Zelda (Not sure which one, the title screen has an island with a big egg on it)(Japanese)
2. Doraemon 4 (Japanese)
3. Bomber Man GB 3
4. Super Mario Land
5. Alley Way
6. Tetris 2 (Not really, just Tetris)
7. Dr. Mario
8. Bowling (World Bowling)
9. Tennis
10. Soukoban 2 (Japanese)
11. Mickey Mouse (Actually Q-Billion!)
12. Battle City
13. Motocross Maniacs
14. Space Invaders
15. Shisensyo (Says Match-Mania on title screen) (Japanese)
16. Snake (I have no idea what to do in this game!) (Japanese)
17. Pipe Dream
18. Minesweeper (The one by Arc Co. and Pack-In Video)
Unlike my other 2 multicarts, this one adds 3-letter words to the game's titles on the menu instead of actually changing the names (Except for Q-Billion.) This creates titles like Zelda Act, Mario Land Win, Tennis Mir, Dr. Mario Max, Tetris 2 Pin, Mickey Mouse God, and Snake Ion.
thanks! The Zelda game is Link's Awakening btw.
Do you know who could have made the carts? Also, is Doraemon 4 an official game?
The only one I can guess at is the "NT9915" one, which was possibly made by NT (Ka Sheng) (http://bootleggames.wikia.com/wiki/NT). No idea about the other two.
Doraemon 4 probably is official given that it's in Japanese, most pirate originals are in either Chinese or English, but I don't know of any Doraemon game with that title... does it actually say "4" on the title screen? According to Wikipedia, the official games are:
Game Boy
Doraemon 2
Doraemon Kart (Game Boy)
Game Boy Color
Doraemon 2
Doraemon Kart 2
Doraemon Kimito Pet no Monogatari
Doraemon Memories: Nobi Dai no Omoi Izaru Daibouken
Doraemon no GameBoy de Asobouyo DX10
Doraemon no Quiz Boy
Doraemon no Quiz Boy 2
Doraemon no Study Boy: Gakushuu Kanji Game
Doraemon no Study Boy: Kanji Yomikaki Master
Doraemon no Study Boy: Kuku Game
Doraemon: Aruke Aruke Labyrinth
So it's likely one of those, I guess.
No, it doesn't. The title screen actually says "10"! There are a bunch of Japanese letters, the Game Boy logo in english, the Doraemon logo in Japanese and a big 10. The copyright says "(C) 1998 Epoch Co. Ltd.
Maybe it's a title screen hack of one of those games? If it is, maybe it can be identified by the game itself? It's just a bunch of minigames, with a short backstory about a guy getting beaten up, possibly to his death, in front of all the playable characters (except for Doraemon, who appears later.)
ah, I guess it's Doraemon no GameBoy de Asobouyo DX10 then, that seems to fit.
