View Full Version : Butchered SMS cart labels

So I've recently been re-acquiring SMS stuff (it's literally been about 20 years since I played some of these games) and one thing I've really been enjoying is seeing how mindblowingly awful the text on some of the cart labels is. Some of the names are butchered, or just plain incorrect. A couple of my favorites that I've been reintroduced to are "Mono Poly" for Monopoly and "Super Wonder Boy Super Monster Land" for Wonder Boy in Monster Land.
These are the only two I can find at this time, but does anybody know of any more? Post 'em. They're hilarious.

There is a "Psycho Fox" title variation where they misspelled it "Psyco Fox". Also "Rambo: First Blood Part II" is simply called "Rambo" on the cart label. I've sold that game before and had someone contact me thinking I sent them the wrong game.
About the Monopoly misspelling, it's kind of understandable because "mono" and "poly" are both prefixes. "Mono Poly" is kind of a cool name for a game anyway.

I've got a misspelled Psycho Fox and a 2-words Monopoly in my SMS collection.

The Master System will probably mostly go down in history for putting the apostrophe in Y's!!

I have the exact same thing with both of the mentioned games...I believe those are the initial run of the games, since I remember buying them right after they were released.
