I've seen this around also. Although I'm not interested in it enough to purchase the cart, I'd like to know who the group is behind it's development.

The font looks just like the one in those Ben 10 / Super Mario 3 / 4 bootlegs, so I guess the developer is the same, too.

I would have bought one. 18$ seems like a good deal.
I hope to see this one dumped soon.
wonder who won it & if it will get dumped.
thanks for posting this. I have seen it on youtube but had not seen the cover/box for it.

Also, I send a message to the ebay's seller and said he will sell more copies in the future.

Yeah, almost certainly the same dev as those Mario and Ben 10 bootlegs. Not just the font, but also the soundtrack--which, again, consists of various TFM Music Maker modules scoured from around the internet.

I know the dev team behind it. It is the same guy behind Angry birds. He has a sprite swap called angry ducks. as wells as other games similar to Zuma and has the gravity duck one.

He told me they invest about 11K dollars worth of hours of work on those projects. He said that the carts have a different mapping and it is hard to dump or reproduce.

Wow, that's... interesting to say the least.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all the carts of Angry Birds that are floating around based on a demo version that's only a few levels long?

I looked at the site Gafe was talking about and noticed that it had the angry birds famicom dendy game. And also James Cameron's Avatar on the Mega Drive.

FWIW, the FC/dendy version has been dumped last August by Maxzhou88

pirate 'original' (i.e. not just a title/sprite hack), but nothing astonishing... I'd expect the MD version to be similar, just with better gfx

And also James Cameron's Avatar on the Mega Drive.[/quote]That's just a title hack, like the rest of the Mega Drive games of recent movie releases. (well Avatar isn't too new, but still.)
Oh and just to add, I can't get onto those pictures or anything. Anybody care to rehost them?
