Mega Drive/Genesis / Kirby Super Star
« on: October 02, 2016, 05:04:57 AM »
I first read about a Kirby's Super Star pirate for MD back in like 2000 or so. Way before Sonic ROM hacks were made. If it does exist (I'm seriously doubting it does at this point), it's going to be something the pirates programmed themselves I would think, i.e. not a simple sprite hack of a Sonic game.

Pirate Talk / Feels like everything's been found

I also am not a big fan of the new Russian Mega Drive titles, as they just seem "cheap" to me, and they just remind me of the big level of "repros" moving into these niche markets, ugh.  I can appreciate stuff like the Angry Birds ports for Famicom though, as it is something new and neat seeing on a machine so old.

Otherwise, I honestly don't think we are anywhere near the end, when it comes to the unlicensed / bootleg stuff.

For instance, has anyone EVER seen a copy of Chinese Chess 2 for Famicom?  I saw a few screenshots in a magazine, but that was all I ever saw.  There are a few titles of similar status.  

With Game Boy stuff we are really far away from documenting it all.  I collect for it and see it as the next best platform for unlicensed stuff, after Famicom.  Take Sintax, for example.  I have a ridiculous number of their games, maybe 50 - 60 or so, but no where near all of them, and there are so many that are simply unknown, undocumented.

There is still a lot of stuff to be found, my friend, but finding it...that is just a totally different story.

Either way, you are my hero, glad to see you back :)[/quote]Haha, I didn't know I did anything to be anyone's hero, and you certainly seem to have amassed more of a collection than I ever possibly could have! Thanks for the kind words.

bgr that's a neat channel. I had no idea that game was on Genesis, thought it was an SNES thing only. Seems anything on SNES was originally on Genesis in all cases. Wonder where Pokemon Gold/Silver or Digimon on Genesis is, then.

I'll have a new pirate dump coming soon, btw. It's the reason I've made my return, as a matter of fact :)

So I'm back from the dead. But I remember why I left. Because there's like nothing new out there at all!

Seems everything has been found at this point. Sure, you got those more modern Russian productions going on the MD and FC too I think? But I associate pirate gaming specifically with Taiwanese works of the past, and it doesn't seem like there's anything more to find. In fact, I think the only thing at this point is likely going to be discoveries of more SNES ports of things which weren't well known. And of course, GB games. That system still has a big number of things people don't really know about.

What else can be found for a collector? Well, there are quite a number of FC games I've yet to see CIB, and a couple MD ones. And you practically never see SNES pirates with their original boxes. I've kept an eye on Ruten and check it like once a day consistently for the past several years. Even after disappearing from here, it's just an ingrained habit. And let me tell you, the number of "pirates" (unlicensed, originals, etc) showing up is pretty abysmal now. I still can't believe I've yet to ever see certain titles show up. A CIB copy of Aladdin II for MD seems impossible. Tiny Toons 3 CIB has shown up a few times, surprisingly considering how unseen that game is. You still pretty much never ever see any FC pirates in their original packaging. I still wonder if that elusive Tenchi Souzou (aka Terranigma) for FC from Nanjing really does exist or if the list of Nanjing titles that it's on was just a premature thing released by Nanjing but they never got to making it.

This thread isn't asking a question or seeking opinions or anything really. More just lamenting that there's not much to get excited about in pirate gaming anymore  :lol:

Super Famicom/SNES dumps / Mortal Kombat 2000 DUMPED!

Nice to see something else new come out. Seems we're at the end of finding much new stuff for the SNES, much like the Genesis.

Thanks!

Pirated Game Museum / Lost the pass
« on: October 01, 2016, 03:05:26 AM »
So with Kingpepe's help I was finally able to retrieve my account on these forums. Zero idea what the hell I made my previous password as I tried everything I could possibly imagine.

Anyway, the same unfortunately holds for the Pirated Game Museum wiki. I can't for the life of me recall what the pass possibly was, so the thing is stuck in limbo. I'm surprised to see it still gets some attention, however sparse. There's tons of PSX pirates and even more SNES and FC things out there that could last someone their lifetime trying to document pics for the wiki.

But yeah......anyone got any ideas what I can do? I apparently set the email to some address I don't ever use since doing a request for lost password goes to God only knows what email. I am apparently very disorganized :/

I don't think in all my years I've noticed that goat. I get distracted by Captain Crunch.

What's in the whole collection? Everything you have for sale up there doesn't add up to $130.

Dragon Ball Z Final Bout - $20, unlicensed/pirate based on the PSX fighting game I think. Label is peeling off top.

Soul Blade - $20, another unlicensed/pirate fighter based on the PSX fighter. Good condition save for the stickers on the side.

Gameboy:

Doubting the buyer knows this forum. And I thought it was established to just be Legendary Wings?

I remember seeing that cart get in a bidding war on Ruten some time ago. If it's really just Legendary Wings then the person who won must feel like a sucker now.

Discussion Center / A Few Questions For Taizou
« on: December 17, 2013, 05:38:55 PM »
I think all these pointless posts he's making is his way of trying to appeal to taizou to get that wiki ban lifted. No way it's gonna work at this rate!

Bootleg Bazaar / Interesting stuff for sale elsewhere
« on: December 08, 2013, 03:05:43 PM »
Not sure what everyone is saying, none of your auctions look the least bit overpriced to me, heck most anything over $20 got there because of bids.
