I got some new games recently, and was able to dump a couple. CBA150 is the last "House of the Flying Daggers" game that Li Cheng released (the original version was by Tian Cai Xiao Zi). The other three "House of the Flying Daggers" were already dumped. LOTR Castlevania is another Sintax sprite hack of their Castlevania game. Thankfully, this one has sprites that actually match the hitboxes in game decently well.
Here’s a short breakdown of the games in the picture:
1.This is a copy of the Tian Cai Xiao Zi game rereleased by Li Cheng as CBA148. This same game was released under the title 一指禅功, which I recorded a short video of on my YouTube channel.
2.This is another Tian Cai Xiao Zi game. It seems to have their logo edited out, and does not appear to match any of the games Li Cheng rereleased.
3.This is a Sintax game made by Tian Cai Xiao Zi. It was rereleased by Li Cheng under as CBA095.
4.This is a Li Cheng rerelease of a Tian Cai Xiao Zi game with the ID CBA148.
5.This is a Li Cheng rerelease of a Tian Cai Xiao Zi game with the ID CBA150.
6.This is a Tian Cai Xiao Zi game that Li Cheng rereleased as CBA150.
7.This is a version of Super Fighters S with an alternate title screen. The cartridge originally had metallic silver paint on the outside, but it has worn down on mine. There's a
picture of this version of the title screen on the wiki. It has simplified characters so I guess its the mainland China version of Super Fighters S 99.
8.This is 神鬼帝國の惡魔城 but with sprites themed after Lord of the Rings.
9.This is a pirate cart of Pocket Monsters Silver (Japanese Version). It comes in a strange striped cart. The cart says “Winsen 2002” on the back, which is another name for Li Cheng. The cart does not use their boot logo, but they probably had some involvement.
10.This is Monsters Go Go 2. A sprite hack of Kirby’s Dreamland 2 that adds color.
11.This is a Tian Cai Xiao Zi game that Li Cheng rereleased as CBA147.
12.This is a generic title screen hack of some game that frequently appears in old GBC ROM lists. Not very interesting, but knowing what not to buy is always good.
13.A GBC multicart that interestingly shows previews of games on its game select menu. This seems very uncommon for GBC multis, until this cart I had only seen this feature on GBA multis.
14.A multicart that appears to be made by the same people who manufacture Tian Cai Xiao Zi’s cartridges. It has the five Rockman World game, as well as Rockman X3 (The hybrid version of Zook Hero 2), and Rocman X Gold by Sachen.
15.Rockman X3 but with the original copy protection. It still has Zook Hero Z music, and still starts with all the levels cleared.
16.This is a Tian Cai Xiao Zi game that Li Cheng rereleased as CBA149.
17.A ZCB multicart. Not much of note is on it, but it looks cool.
18.A PocketNES version of Shenzhen Nanjing’s Famicom port of Pokémon Ruby for the GBA. Yes, that is as counterintuitive as that sounds. There seems to be a series of PocketNES carts that have the three colored dots that can be seen in the bottom left corner of this cart’s sticker.
19.Another ZCB multicart, this time with a box. It has some hacks of Hoenn Pokémon games (one of which the menu refers to as YJencryp ted, yes with the space), and a PocketNES version of some RPG that was probably made by Waixing.
20.SKOB’s own cheating device. It uses Super Huge Dragon name on the cart, meaning that it was probably made in China and not Taiwan. It does not have its own boot logo, it just uses the boot logo of whatever is plugged into it. It does not work if no cart is inserted. Upon booting it will say SKOB in a similar manner to how 夢幻之星 does when it boots. The menus are all in Chinese but it appears to have lots of features.
