If you need some help with french, I'm here.[/quote]I can read French, actually. Not quite so good at writing it, but I can understand it pretty easily.

how about this one? http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?11070427317485
i don't recognise those screenshots from any legit monopoly game.

Kind of looks like one of those Monopoly derivatives more than the original game. The board itself vaguely reminds me of that Wily and Light no Rockboard on the Famicom, but I doubt it's based off that.

Edit: From looking through the interwebs, I'd say it looks sort of like Jinsei Game but again, I doubt it's the same thing.

But it's definitely not the latter. Maybe it's Crazy Richman 1?

Edit: In fact, it has the exact same title as Chaoji Dafuweng. Which also happens to be the Taiwanese title of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, according to Wikipedia.

Which also happens to be the Taiwanese title of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, according to Wikipedia.[/quote]It might be Crazy Richman 2 as far as I can tell. As for Chaoji Dafuweng, it could just be a coincidence that it has the same name, like with Pocket Monster on the Famicom and Mega Drive. (and SNES, if you want to count that as well) Then again, I suspect it might be based off Sachen's Millionaire II, but I can't find any screenshots or videos to compare since a lot of the image links on the Unlicensed NES Games Guide broke. >_>

[codeman38]

Sachen's Millionaire II has been dumped, under the alternate title shown in the Unlicensed Games Database, "Chuugoku Taitei". (No idea why the person in charge of GoodNES titles read the characters as Japanese rather than Chinese, but whatever.) It's not the same game (the board looks wildly different, and the UI is different), but at least it is the same genre.

[taizou]

actually it does look quite a lot like Jinsei Game (the first one) translated to Chinese:

For some reason, Wikipedia doesn't even mention that there was a GB port, but mentions all the other ports. Should've thought to check for the existence of one.

[Barver]

I saw this a while back, I just assumed it was a chinese translation and forgot about it.

If you look in the questions section you'll notice that auctions been up since 2007  O_o

[taizou]

anyone know anything about this?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170525706550
its so generic looking.. the possibilities are endless! 8-bit? 16-bit? normal famicom games? hacks? jungletac games? nice code games? could be anythinggg. i've asked the seller but if they don't know i might take the plunge and buy the damn thing anyway, its pretty cheap.

[Awesome Panda]

Not entirely sure, TBH, but I might get it anyway out of curiosity. The lack of a white AV cable suggests that it's 8-bit (the NES and Famicom have mono sound) although because Goodmans is a pretty large company, I doubt you'll find Super Mario Bros. or Contra on it.

Edit: Just remembered that I saw something similar looking a few weeks ago called the Wikkid or something like that (it was by Senario if that's of any importance, as in the same company that released those 101-in-1 plug n plays in the US), and all it had was a few 8-bit casino games. Didn't buy it, of course, as I have much better things to waste my money on.

[taizou]

well I bought one, so we'll find out soon enough..

[taizou]

turned up today, its actually a different model from the one listed in the auction. its got 30 games and it has a sort of mini wheel in the middle of the controller. games are all Jungletac 8-bit stuff, but i can't actually play them yet because it was missing an adaptor thats supposed to come with it and i can't connect it to a TV without it.

[taizou]

the adaptor still hasnt turned up but i managed to get it sort of half-working using various other things attached together. and yeah its just 30 jungletac games, i don't think its anything anyone hasnt seen before on other consoles.
game list: Runner Car, Motor Rally, Ocean Quest, Last Cabra, Aero Engine, Insect Chase, Pinball Track, Birdie Nest, Bingo Zap, Spin Ball, Star Ally, Valiant Rescue, Zero Tiger, Bolt Fighter, Dragon Fire, Excel Racing, Bumb Car, move Fun, GP Race, Space Castle, Ultra Doggy, Elfland, Jewel Master, Sea War, Catch the Egg, Dart Champion, Paint Master, Fish Catcher, Smart Escape, Wison

[Awesome Panda]

Sounds like the exact same list of games that were on the Plug & Play Centurion Gamepad, which is just laziness IMO.
