What's this thread

I thought it would be better to fit everything in one place that is related to games that we do not know about.

Do anyone know that game:

thats Shui Hu Zhuan, its an early Waixing game.

how about this one. Pokemon game, top left of the second picture (the one next to the japanese blue):

I guess it might just be another copy of Blue with a different label. but i have no idea.

Definitely just Pokemon Blue. The Chinese says Lan Guai Shou, Blue Monster. Plus it says GEMA YOB COLOR. I don't think I've seen a pirate original yet that uses that, always just pirates of official games.

might just be a Chinese translation of one of the official Yugioh games.. but pirate originals definitely were released in that type of cart, mostly Vast Fame's early ones, and I don't recognise the artwork so I'm not sure.

Ah, those. I've seen lots of cartridges in that exact style, black with a glossy oval sticker that says New GB Color. As far as I can tell, they're likely just Chinese translations. All of them I've seen seem to be have had an official game(as in there are yugioh games on GBC etc..) But the titles never seem to perfectly match any official games, not even the Chinese translations of them. And like you said, the art is unfamiliar.

Wish I knew...

some pirate originals were definitely released in those cartridges (Zook Z, Super Fighter S, Digimon Pocket, Wukong Waichuan/Dragonball Final Bout, e'Fighter Hot, maybe more?) but i've seen Zelda and Harvest Moon games too, which i'd assume were translations.. not sure though.

GBA Rayman IV:

might just be one of the legit GBA Rayman games .. but I probably would have said that about Crash IV too if I'd only seen the cartridge.

Apparently that particular copy is in Russian, judging from the front sticker, though I have no idea if the one on eBay is.

Edit: The box art is stolen from Rayman Arena. In this French forum thread, one poster is under the impression it's the Russian cover of Hoodlums' Revenge, but I have no idea if it actually is.

I figure if it was the official Russian version of that game (assuming that even exists) then the box art would have the THQ logo at least. As well as that, the ESRB font is wrong and the IV is hastily tacked on to the logo. Mind you, being able to see the back of the box would help, methinks.

I think when they say "Russian version", "pirate" is implied

I think when they say "Russian version", "pirate" is implied [/quote]Well, of course. But there still is the question of whether it's a pirate hack (of Hoodlums' Revenge) or a pirate original.

[Barver]

I'd have to guess pirate of an official game, but I can't know for sure. How'd you find that auction anyways? It's just like that Digimon Rury, the auctions are always ended =p Plus just like that one, the guy appears to have more than one in stock, yet he hasn't bothered relisting it.

Someone buy it and find out
