Another version of Magic Jewelry
« on: February 04, 2011, 05:00:36 PM »
I recently got a 190-in-1 multicart (as well as another one and The General's Son :D ) and one thing I found pretty quickly, other than Adventure Island being called Atlantis on the menu for some crazy reason, is that there appears to have been a third version of MJ. I suspect this one was developed between the original and MJ2. When compared with the original, the title screen was replaced with the menu from MJ2 (except the option to change the pieces is a 2 player option instead), there's only one song in the game (I think, at least) and the background was changed to what I think is Moscow, kind of like the one from BPS' awful Tetris port. Also, the one song that plays in the game was the one from level 7 of the original.

I doubt there was a single cart release of this version, and it might be worth pointing out that the multicart menu uses the same graphics as the menu from the game. Oh, and neither Hwang Shinwei or RCM are credited anywhere.

Well thats interesting. I think youre right about this being developed between MJ1 and MJ2, it certainly looks that way

Well, I recently find another Magic Jewelry variation (no title) in a 1.000.000 in 1 multi-cart.

Sure, here are some pics...


Olympic 2000 cart


Initial screen

And finally, Jewel Tetris, which is just a variation for Magic Jewelry...



Any extra information of this cart would be apreciated - company, for example -. Label has some hologram-style and plastic is very poor. It came to me with a Famiclone.

Hope you like pics!

Well that's just the original version of the game. Possibly with the title screen removed, but I don't think that counts. :unsure:

No, title screen wasn't removed, but only big letters spelling "Jewelry" appears with some text just down. I think it does count as another version made probably by this hackers.

Well I'm pretty sure that's the most common version of the game. I have it on a few multicarts and there's a ROM dump of it.

But all your versions have "Olympic 2000" written on the title screen?

All right, so you consider a variation when is completely different, instead of initial screen or name on the multi-cart, now I understand your point.
