Who owns this one?

If so, can you please check for me which games are on the cartridge?

The manual states that there may be more than one and that the cart even contains a menu.

I think it may contain the same games as Mega Funpak from HES, but I need proof.

Thanks in advance!

The ROM is only 4K in size, so there is no 2nd game inside.

[Rom Hunter]

Yes, I know.

But that's not the ROM that IMO belongs there.

I would like to know what is on the actual cart.

Such a weird thing to put in the manual... I want to find one of these now.

I have heaps of HES carts RH, including Gorf.  Being aussie and all.  I'll check it out for you when I get home from work.

I only have a PAL Vader to test it on though.

Maybe you can check this one too:

I tried it on my copies and couldn't access any hidden games.

That text in the manual sounds like a boilerplate tease. I'd check other HES-published games to see if they use it everywhere. "Try everything, you might be surprised!" I wouldn't take it too literally, like you must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance. 
 

Seems to be same code as the CBS version from USA.

Please do.

The ROM on the Atarimania site is most probably not the one that's on the cart.

Let me know if you start up with a menu and try different difficulty switches.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry Thom.  That's one I haven't picked up yet as I have a NTSC Crackpots.  Will grab it soon though.

Yeh, likewise.  Tried all the switch combinations @Rom Hunter.  ie bw/color, game select, difficulty switches.  Standard attract mode.  The games starts by pressing the fire button.

Just to be sure: You are changing the switches before switching on the console, right?

Yup.👍

Many thanks, Spriggy.

Well, I don't know what to think of all this.

Seems that both Boom Bang and Gorf from HES only display one game after all, although the instructions suggest something else.

I will keep both ROMs in the database.

If someone comes up with a different version of Boom Bang or Gorf, please let me know.
