In the UK I occasionally see Game Boy bootlegs and plug & play stuff... it's quite rare though.

As far as I know, you're more likely to find bootleg stuff in Eastern Europe.

I live in Ohio, in the United States. While occasionally some bootlegged stuff pops up at a flea market, the real bootleg gold mine is New York City if you know the right places to look.

Mind you, Turkey used to be (and might still be for all I know) full of bootleg Game Boy games and I think there used to be a fair few Famiclones in Spain.

Also, about a year ago I managed to find a 30 in 1 cart for the Game Boy in a local pawnbrokers.

[/quote]There is no China town in Ohio. :P (unless you're referring to NYC's Chinatown)

But yeah, bootlegs are hard to come by in the USA except for flea markets. Although I should peek around in NYC since Linkrulezall mentioned that. :o
