Overmax 151 in 1

Is it just me, or is "Corsair" spelled "Corsoir" on the title screen? I mean, the second "o" looks different, but... it's still very much an "o".

Edit: Yep, that's exactly what an "o" looks like in Brush Script. Then again, this is the company that once spelled "racing" as "rucing", so I shouldn't be too surprised.

Mind you, I think making up ridiculous band names is the one good thing that's come out of most of these games. Incidentally, my suggestion would be Captain Engineer of the Reversi Squad.

Also, it's hard to tell but I think the sign on Close Quarter's title screen says "Htalihoo" or something, presumably supposed to say Hallihoo.

And I just realised that the bloke in Hunter Alone looks suspiciously similar to Marco from Metal Slug with green hair for some odd reason.

BTW, I just realised that the logs in the Frogger clone are taken straight out of the original game. Is it a hack of the plug 'n play version or something?

And to me, Thunder Man looks a lot like Batman on the NES. (In fact, the main character looks like a sprite edit of the Dark Knight himself)

About that Commando game, what are the similarities to Contra?

well it has similar gameplay and the same way of displaying remaining lives but its not particularly good as far as Contra clones go, you can't shoot diagonally and I don't think there are any powerups.

1-hit deaths? Roll-up ball jump? End-level bosses?

:P

yes, yes and not sure (but probably, i'll check)
just played through the first level quickly - there are actually powerups but theyre just sitting in preset points in the level (theres only one in level 1, on a building), they don't float through the air or anything. level 1 doesnt have a boss so i'm assuming others don't either, maybe there's a final one though. and there are basically no platform elements thus far, some enemies stand on buildings but your character can't jump onto them.
edit: there is a bit of platformy stuff in level 2.
edit2: and a boss! but it is the final boss. so yeah only two stages. brilliant.

Whoa; that's just like the Contra clone Commando (2 levels only). Hmm...

I just realised something, some of the graphics in Bubbles are stolen from Little Nemo.

just noticed something odd and kinda related:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMzHTR7FL7I

thats a video of the "Factor 5" famiclone by Yobo/'Qi Sheng Long, in addition to playing standard NES games it's also compatible with "G Factor" cartridges which are really VT03 OneBus carts in 72pin NES format. (the FC3plus is also compatible with those carts, and I guess the Generation NEX might be too?)

I'm not sure if they ever released any other carts, but the pack-in has Aether Mission, Bomb Kid & Assault Force which are all on the 151 in 1, plus Hot Gun, a lightgun game, and Super Motor Race which is kind of interesting - it has a lot in common with Shenzhen Niutai's 16bit racing games, the text on the select screen is identical and even in the same font for example. not sure what's going on there.

Oh yeah. Surprising how many pirate sites are out there though. Think they'd get caught by now. And this one tells us to judge a game by the coolness of its name. How...original.

Lol I wouldn't listen to cookie labyrinth if it was a band[/quote]Looks like someone hasn't been reading the rules. Don't bump topics unless you have a good reason for it.

Besides the point, Cookies Labyrinth would be an awesome name for a band.
