Next stop - possible games list.
Please take a look at the "serial" number, it's
GD-97.
A while ago I've stumbled across another
Paradise Science game at ruten, that happened to have
GD-98 number >>

It's "Blood of Jurassic" (獵殺侏儸紀) >> http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?21312077666607 (http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?21312077666607)
Does anyone know what kind of game is this?
Also, if there are two games in order, what about the other ones?
Is it possible that there are about 98 games produced/developed by that company?
Thank ya'll in advance for any kind of contribution.
I'm totally glad to be here :dance:
Wow, what is it with all of the interest in this company all of a sudden?!?
Anyway, good to see you here mate :) I need to respond to your PM over at FW, but have been lazy, sorry ;)
With the Jurassic game, it is a fun light fun game, though there doesn't seem to be any real ending / point to the game as far as I can tell. Just complete the round / stage, choose another stage, etc. The one stage is also programmed quite poorly, imo, as it always causes my Famiclone to crash and glitch.

Though I might plan on playrunning it.
I'll have to dig up some of the stuff I have on all these companies but Shanghai Paradise is very closely linked to a later company called Inventor, I think both were owned by Cao Huaizhen. There's some more info on Inventor here: http://bootleggames.wikia.com/wiki/Inventor (http://bootleggames.wikia.com/wiki/Inventor)
Many of their original games are only (so far) known to exist on plug & play consoles but likely some/most/all of them received standalone cart releases too. I dunno if theres really 98 of them though, it seems kinda suspicious that 97 and 98 have both surfaced but nothing from 1-96 has..
also welcome to the forum!
fcgamer, taizou, thanks for the intel.
I guess I saw one or few of those "hacks" either on 150 or 245in1 those taobao kickass multicarts, however as for that "Blood of Jurassic" I'm kinda shocked a bit, are you guys saying that you already own that cartridge, or better yet have a dumped rom?
it only came to light very very recently - fcgamer has a cartridge and there's that one on ruten you linked, those are the only two known I think. there's no rom as far as i know.

I thought the game seemed fun enough, but never had much information on it, so I was quite surprised the other day when so many people started to become interested in it.
