Rajada Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 So I ended up with one of those weird (foreign?) multicarts. This one claims to have 128 games! Wow! Well, oddly enough, unless I'm missing a switch (looks like there was never a switch in the third channel there) there's 16 games in 4 banks, making 64. Well, maybe they counted all the variations. But a lot of these games look to be the weird copy-cats and knockoffs produced by companies like Suntek and Homevision. As a result, I'm not too sure what all of these games are. I'd like to make a homemade manual for it since it will make finding the right game easier, but I gotta know a title. So, I'm hoping someone here can help me with a few of the worst. By the way, these are just pictures of my TV, I don't have a capture setup. I'm aware that the middle one is River Raid, but I've never seen anything that looked quite as much like a clown barfed on River Raid. Half the shore does this bizarre acid-trip color-cycling thing. Here's a picture of the cart as well (note I made the end-label, as I don't think it ever had one): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 #3 = Snail vs Squirrel #9 = Spider Maze These bootleg type games may be known by many names. #4 was put out by Froggo and Panda iirc, maybe others. Nice find, btw... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajada Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Yeah, this is exactly what I'm looking for. As long as I know what legitimate game they were based on, I can find a lot of the names of the bootlegs and narrow it down. Already found I got "Curtiss", "Galatic", "Boom Bang", "Hey! Stop!" and "Pyramid War" on here too. As well as some other obscurities (no idea if they have bootleg names or not) like Beany Bopper, Worm War I, Open Sesame, Bobby is Going Home and Freeway Rabbit. There's also some Golf bootleg that's even LESS playable than straight up Golf. That's a heck of an achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 #1 is Cosmic Swarm, #2 is Sea Monster, #4 is Exocet aka Cruise Missile, #5 is some sort of River Raid hack, #8 is Space Tunnel. Is #6 a version of Vulture Attack/Condor Attack? I don't recognize #7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajada Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 I've also got a weird, second version of Bobby is Going Home that has slightly different character/enemy models and plays songs like Twinkle Twinkle and Silent Night. Anyone know what that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rajada Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 I got one more tricky one... some kind of top down space shooter. You control the yellow guy in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rajada Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Awesome, that's it! So after fooling with it, I have determined that not only does this not really seem to have 128 games, only 3 of the banks have 16, and the fourth bank has 15. What a weird cart. It almost seems like they recycled a 128 for a 64 given the third switch slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
