Interesting stuff for sale elsewhere

[Pepper-98]

That third listing is just Gluk's custom NES cartridge.  I've seen them plenty of times with their other Brazilian releases like Go Benny and Magic Carpet 1001.

That Sonic 6 is actually Top Secret: Hitler no Fukkatsu (the Japanese version of Bionic Commando). Box is interesting though, the artwork seems to be mostly from unlicensed Mega Drive games, and it looks way newer than the cart itself.The seller has a ton of interesting 72pin NES carts though, heres Street Fighter IV:

& DBZ Super Butoden 2:

I guess the boxes are probably mismatched with the carts, he's got new and old stuff for sale.

This multi looks really recent:

I'm surprised 72pin pirates were still being made so late (maybe still are?).. maybe theyre big in Indonesia?

Hmm, those carts look like they were originally Famicom carts (due to the stickers being that sort of size) and they've modded them. But that's just a guess.

Or retailers didn't feel like printing a new cover. They were likely getting board + cover in the parcel. No reason to pay the cover and not use it.

Many pirates are like that.

A CIB copy of Digimon D-4 by SKOB.[/quote]Yeah I saw that one too, about a week back, and plan on grabbing it.  I've been trying to get more of the SKOB games lately.

DId Gluk ever actually market games to Brazil though?  Or are you perhaps thinking of another company, such as Gradiente, the Brazilian pirate king?

Many pirates are like that.[/quote]Yes, at one point I had heard from someone, who had ended up importing many unlicensed Famicom games into the 1980s.  He said that they just received cases, boards, and labels, as well as a paper, which could then photocopied and placed into a clamshell to make a distinct box.  Also remember speaking to someone else at one point, who had said that purchasing boxes for some of this stuff was optional, but always cost more, thus why many sellers didn't bother.

Guess what I am trying to say is that the bottomline usually came down to cost.  They get a lot of labels that would work, why not just slap them on NES cases even if they look as though they were meant for Famicom?

Ah, I might've gotten the country Gluk made stuff in wrong.  I know they published stuff by NTDEC and whatnot, but I wasn't entirely sure what country they released them in.

Some green Makon multicart. Anything special people can see on it?http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w491076856.8.AD7gG8&id=12387000622
I have one of these multicarts, and they have really good selections. And the cart quality, wow.

What digimon gba game is this? http://a.m.taobao.com/i4436041293.htm?sid=5bfa5a00a1e21fac&pds=fromauc%23h%23shop

[Robyn]

DX3... Hmm... I have absolutely no idea. o_o Unless it's Digimon 3 (Makon one) then I dunno.

Maybe it's a new V.Fame? :O If it is, that's awesome.

[taizou]

well the screenshots (edit: and the boxart, for that matter) show Alien Hominid. so maybe its that.

[Pepper-98]

Might just be a Makon game or title hack.  It looks very generic-ish to me.

[taizou]

It's a GBA game though, not GBC.

[Pepper-98]

Ah, my bad.  I just know that there are GBC games stuffed into GBA cases (like with Makon and Sintax) so maybe I didn't pay close enough attention or whatever.
