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
