Correction: The Simpsons were huge, as far as I'm concerned it went downhill after about the 10th series. Anyway, I'm just raising the point that if they're going to feature any game, shouldn't it be one of the best ones? :P

The problem is, they don't have many good games to speak of :P

The photo over here http://www.smspower.org/forums/files/gg_multi_188.jpg has a GG Mario Brother. Can this possibly be some sort of pirate game or a port like how Dr. Hello was?

its probably Super Boy 2. or a repeat of Super Boy 2, since that's in the list already.

Super Boy 1 was never for the Sega Master System, only Super Boy 2 and 4.

In that case, where did I hear about an SG-1000 port of the first game?

No idea, I know the first Super Boy was only on MSX. Super Boy 2 was really an SG-1000 game on a Master System cart though.

Not meaning to be off-topic, but whats really strange is that the Street fighter II pirate has the same music as Buzz & Waldog, an unlicensed game which also rips graphics from Mario and Sonic games... A very weird relationship.

Links so you can hear the same music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDR10bGqlI4 (SF Pirate)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGaBARHsay4 (Buzz and Waldog NES game)

Anyone know what's the deal with this? I dont think theyre made by the same people, since B&W is a godlike game which is programmed well and the SFII pirate is... well.. garbage. This really trips me out because as far as Ive ever heard, these are the only 2 games with this music. What gives? :unsure:

I was thinking that originally, but then wouldn't the SFII pirate at least sound a bit more... stable, I guess is the word I'm looking for.. than it does now? Of course it's different hardware, but that shouldn't make too much of a difference to the composer, should it?

A very weird relationship.[/quote]I still really have no idea what's up with that one, honestly! There are several points that do suggest a connection to Open.

- The same music is also used in Open's Master System game "Toto World 3", for which Buzz & Waldog was a sort of sequel... maybe they just poached the sound programmer; it happens. But...
- The 16-pixel font used in Jang Pung 2 is very similar to one that's used in Metal Force.
- There's a sequel called Jang Pung 3 which is much better. It was developed by... you guessed it... Open.

They probably drafted in some inexperienced programmers for Jang Pung II, what I never understood was why the quality of those Korean pirates varied a lot. Gameplay-wise, JPII feels more like The General's Son on the Famicom than anything, and that was by Daou Infosys.
