Also, wouldn't it make more sense to rip off Fantasy Zone for the artwork instead of Parodius? I know the bosses look weird, but still.

Ohhh yeah. i've totally seen that. lol.

i think i might have a pic of the Parodius version but itll be on my other computer if I do, I'll see if I can find it.[/quote]That'd be great Where do you think you found it, btw? That'd also be interesting to know. I've searched all over and can't find any pics anywhere.

Magic Carpet is the 2nd game in the list and it sucks, but at least its title music is fun

Oh, soz mate. >_< Harry's Legend is an interesting game, I have it on a 3-in-1.

[Barver]

Yes! Thanks taizou. Glad to know I'm not crazy and I really did see it, that looks exactly like what i remember.

Now if we could only turn up Kirby.

Magic Carpet is the 2nd game in the list and it sucks, but at least its title music is fun [/quote]Thats actually a relief, that Harry Potter 1001 game is probably the scariest fckin' NES pirate ever, simply due to the music. I can't help but wonder what on earth was going through the person that made that games mind.. The level music is so atonal and grinding it actually sticks in my mind. :'(

Hey taizou, anything else you think you've got saved on that PC btw? If you kept that photo hidden away for so long.... :p

Also I noticed that that balloon with whatever it is hanging onto it isn't part of the original Gokujou Parodius cover. I wonder where they got it from.

[Awesome Panda]

They probably drew it from scratch in a vain attempt to look original.

No Kirby though.

Edit: And by that, I mean, it is quite literally the icon for Corel Draw. (I still have the CD for version 4 of that program in my room somewhere...)

(I still have the CD for version 4 of that program in my room somewhere...)[/quote]Comparing the two, the one on the box art looks edited (the lighting looks different as far as I can tell) so maybe they redrew it from scratch and stuck it on the Parodius art. Also, what's a balloon doing in space anyway? :huh:

[Barver]

Never ceases to amaze me how you guys know the sources of these things! I wonder if this was their lame attempt at avoiding copyright infringement, by sticking something else on the art work, somehow making it theirs hah.

Recently got myself a 150-in-1 (according to TaoBao) cartridge, completely with (most likely) stolen artwork and text I can't read: cool:

Spoiler: click to toggle

Haven't tested it yet, but it says it's for the CoolBoy which I don't own and I somehow doubt it'd work on my Famicom so I doubt I'll be able to play it yet. BTW, if someone can translate the text I'd be grateful.
