Yeah, that's sure a lot of bootlegs...

Oh wait, what's with that cover?! It's that recolored X from an episode of 90210!

Also, I'm not entirely sure if it counts as a bootleg but I got a CD with a load of ZX Spectrum games and emulators as well.[/quote]Lemmie guess... From Russia? Boy, we still get a lot of those "100 old games is 1" CDs (or DVDs)...

Game Boy / That mysterious Aladdin 2 cart
« on: April 09, 2013, 06:16:01 AM »
Another update. So, it's still unclear whether he really sent the carts or not, but that's not what I was going to talk about.

After RobGBA got his Donkey Kong 2 cart, he, reportedly, couldn't make it work until he resetted his GBA several times. Well, it seems to me that the seller got stuck into a similar situation, so that's why he thought it was out of order... Yay.

So, the hunt is still on, considering I've missed my chance to rope it out.

Well, what could I say about a new Sintax platform game if anything else was said before, apart from the stupid Donkey and Diddy sprite mashup?..

Uhm... Okay, I've got one.

it was never a real cart .
I was showing how there are a lot of bad hacks put on real hardware & sold over sea.
wayyy to many bad Mario hacked pirate games on the market.
it wasn't a "lazy" hack or real & it had a fake famicom cover.
I keep seeing it all over the web & people still think its real ,its not.
it was an old joke & people need to take it off there sites as "rare","pirate" & "homebrew" since its 100% fake.
[/quote]Man, please, read what happened in the thread (and the repeat thread linked over here) before shouting "NO IT'S NOT REAL! TAKE IT OFF THE SITES!"

Although we might need some proof on that yes, this hack that was originally intended to be a joke POS became a real POS.

Plus, if it was a plug 'n play console, I'd say that no, it never was a real cart. Instead, it was a real unit.

Mega Drive/Genesis / Strange TMNT pirate cartridge?

He's a bulk reseller, so I sincerely doubt he'd test that one cartridge, especially considering the auction ends in three hours. I was just wondering myself if anybody knew the cartridge purely by its art.[/quote]Not that he will send it to the buyer in three hours, so you might ask him just out of curiosity.

Well, my Digimon Rury and Sapphire carts died for no reason a while ago, so it's probably just pirates not knowing the GBA well enough.[/quote]...which totally proves the above statement.  :pandahappy:

So, I was looking around ebay for genesis lots and happened upon some from a popular bulk seller. However, when looking closer in this lot, I found something rather...interesting.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sega-Genesis-Lot-of-25-Classic-Games-/390568054424?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5aefab8e98

Take a look at the bottom left corner. That's obviously a TMNT pirate, as the sticker is too small for the cartridge and it uses the logo from the 2000s reboot. Anyone know what's on it? Just hyperstone heist/tournament fighters, a glorysun graphics hack...maybe even a pirate original?
[/quote]Three options: either it's Hyperstone Heist (more probable) or Tournament Fighters (less probable) or that crappy Return of the Legend beat 'em up (totally improbable).

Your safest bet is to ask the guy who sells this stuff. Although I guess he doesn't even have a MegaDrive clone or even a region swapper like Mega Key. And if he doesn't, he won't be able to tell you for sure.

Well, we'll never see any footage of Aladdin 2 then. (but who knows? Maybe another will appear somewhere.)[/quote]Which also brings us to the conclusion of that not only Sintax's games on GBA are failures, but the cartridges they're on as well!

Recca and Ristar SWAGGED.

Also, it appears he has tested the Aladdin 2 cart on both original GBA and GBA SP.

So, uh, a hack from 2010 managed to get onto plug n plays? I didn't even think pirates made famiclone plug n plays that late. :O[/quote]Not that it's completely unprobable, considering that New Game still assembles up their Magistr famiclones (with some luck-dependant level of suck) and that there's still a lot of cheap, simple and sort of useless electronic stuff for kids sold out there.

It may have *once* been an April fool's joke, but I (among others it seems) own this game on cartridge / plug n play, making it very much real.  ;)[/quote]Argh, now I wonder why they can't simply put Alter freakin' Ego instead of a yet another lame Wonder Rabbit hack?!

It's a shame it had a retail release a bit too late, in 1999, but still, the game is not that bad. I bet SpaceNinja88 can tell you he played worse.

Wrote this guy a message regarding that, not so long ago.

Also, why on Mars he keeps delaying the end of Recca's auction again and again and again? :pandamad:

Well his idea sounds more like a graphics hack to me, so I dunno if he wanted to edit any levels.[/quote]This, and that "graphics only" hacks suck about 99% of the time, including the ones created by pirates. As much as I can recall, the only fine examples of ones that don't suck are... Well, Macbee's SMW and Super Mario 4 (which is a slightly reskinned Super Mario Bros, though).
