BOX 1: The SNES Unknow Games! (Lots of Pics)

[General_Murdock]

Hi

the box story is the following:

A video store closed down and I've bought all the SNES section. Everything came packed in 5 boxes, and this are the games of BOX 1. I must say that every game is boxed but just a few have manuals. And as everybody knows piracy rules in Brazil so I expected a lot of pirate games.

When the games arrived I looked and saw 70% of the games were official. But those are not fun to show.

Those are the games:

This pac-man is unknown. It's not Ms Pac Man and it's not the new adventures of Pac Man. I just watched the game first logo and it was just PAC-MAN and the option to select 1 or 2 players.

Ronaldinho, is the name of the great brazilian soccer player that now is a little bit fat. This is for sure not official.

As I don't speak japanese I have no idea which game is this one! If somebody can tell me, I'll be very happy :)

http://i.imgur.com/iur9K.jpg (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1174)

Those 2 games are not in US library. I have no idea if they are PAL releases or hacks. But as far as I know Bart vs the space mutants is a game for the NES not SNES. And Asterix, well, I really don't know.

Super Air Diver: I belive this game is a famicon game, but I have no idea if it's official or not.
http://i.imgur.com/FnASj.jpg (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1174)

I know this game is a Tiny Toons game but wich one ? I really don't know, and if it's official or not, I don't know either.

http://i.imgur.com/XnHuM.jpg (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1174)

Donald Duck: Could not find in the US library, maybe a PAL release ?

http://i.imgur.com/bxwbm.jpg (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1174)

Placar: It's the name of a Brazilian magazine, they did this soccer game that fits all the brazilian teams into a game. The narration is in portuguese too. A brazilian hack almost official.

Dragon Ball Z 3: I looked in the US library and not a single Dragon Ball game. I hardly think this game is official, but who knows ?

http://i.imgur.com/HXKXy.jpg (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1174)

Barbie Story maker: This game must sux but I could not find anything in the US game list.

http://i.imgur.com/754DQ.jpg (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1174)

Fifa 97: I've played this title in the computer long time ago. In the cover there is a brazilian soccer player named Bebeto, he won the 94 world cup with Brazil. He is now retired but the game is here >D

1. Doraemon 4
2. Tiny Toon (which one ?)

Except for top gear I belive the other games are not in the us library and are rare.

http://i.imgur.com/w4P4k.jpg (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1174)

2. Sky mission: not in the US library
3. Shooting collection: famicon game.

http://i.imgur.com/XFIRM.jpg (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1174)

http://i.imgur.com/RBmMU.jpg (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1174)

That's it, post your comments, if I have anything that's rare, let me know.

Hope you guys liked and I'll do the same if there is anything interesting in the next 4 boxes.

And for the record, there where 100 boxed games in box one. Let's hope the same for box 2.

[Rickstilwell1]

Is that the same rom of Pac-Man that has the German folk songs and Christmas music while you play it?

[Oldskool]

Well the Pac-Man says "Pac Men" on it, so it's got to be a fake. Hell half of those look like fakes. I'd like to see what the Soul Blade game looks like on the SNES.

[Zing]

I like how the Dragon Ball Z game is for the "Super Nintend" Entertainment System.

It was also hilarious to see the several "Super Cartridge Entertainment System" boxes.

These pirates didn't even try.

[pepharytheworm]

Looking at the Super Famicom games w/ snes carts some look legit. I think someone took the art off the SFC cart and put the board and art in/on a SNES cart. Most of the ones I am talking about have tears in the label, have the SFC box and screws are missing or different.

Here's the one I think did that, open them up and take a pic of the board so I can be sure:
Nosferatu
Captain Commando
Gundam W: Endless Dual

Sonic Wings and Super Air Diver appear legit.

[Gamingking]

How much did it cost for buying all that? in US currency?

[Enigmus]

Any way of playing these carts? The Goldeneye one looks intersting, especially if they somehow hacked Doom for SNES. That would be an epic pirate hack.

I hate to burst your bubble, but look right above the title of the game on the box.

It's probably just a retitled James Bond Jr. (http://www.digitpress.com/DP/cmf/game.cmf?gameid=13690)

>_<

[mobiusclimber]

Brazilian "pirates" tend to just be Japanese games stuck into SNES shells so you have...

Super Air Diver (http://www.gamefaqs.com/snes/588446-lock-on/images/box-9155) - which is Lock On in the US.

Sonic Wings (http://www.gamefaqs.com/snes/588188-aero-fighters/images/box-4554) - which is Aero Fighters in the US.

Yuu Yuu Hakusho Final (http://www.gamefaqs.com/snes/564851-yuu-yuu-hakusho-final/images/box-3711) - which was never released in the US.

Sky Mission (http://www.gamefaqs.com/snes/588853-wings-2-aces-high/images/box-3680) - which is Wings 2: Aces High in the US.

Iron Commando (http://www.gamefaqs.com/snes/571224-iron-commando/images/box-10122) - Not released in the US.

And on and on. Both Asterix and the Smurfs are European exclusives. I'd be interested to know if they play on a regular SNES or not.

[edit: be very happy - Mickey to Donald Magical Adventure 3 is the title you're looking for on the Mickey game. Japanese only release. http://www.gamefaqs.com/snes/571388-mickey-to-donald-magical-adventure-3/images/box-8516 ]

[edit 2: there's two Donald Duck games for the Super Famicom. One became Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow (http://www.gamefaqs.com/snes/588473-maui-mallard-in-cold-shadow/images/box-3736) and the other is called Donald Duck no Mahou no Boshi (http://www.gamefaqs.com/snes/571330-donald-duck-no-mahou-no-boushi/images/box-9324)]

[General_Murdock]

Ok, I'll try to answer everybody here:

Yes I can play the cartridges, the lcd tv I use as a monitor (I'm using it right now) has a snes plugged on it. I'll put the games and take some pictures of the screen.

I must warn you guys that I'm terrible taking pictures, so don't expect wonderful things here. :D

Give me 20 minutes or so and I'll be taking the pictures and upload it.

EDIT: Thanks mobiusclimber, I'll take pictures of the games in action right now

[General_Murdock]

One observation, I have remember seen more 2 smurfs games at the other boxes. I'll leave them to the future to post here.

With the Super Famicom games, you can easily tell if they are pirates if you look on the back of the cartridge. If they have two little slots that allow them to go into an American SNES, then they are pirates. If those slots are not there, then they may be official carts.

Great pics by the way! Thanks for posting. :)

[Baloo]

All of those games are pirates EXCEPT for Magical Quest 3 Starring Mickey Mouse, that was a Japanese game. I'm still looking for that game...

That Donald Duck game was a Japanese only release as well, the version you have is a pirate.

[General_Murdock]

I have 2 copies of "Magical Quest 3 Starring Mickey Mouse" and both are like US cartridge format. So I think everything I showed here is "pirate".

In the end all of this does not have any value, is that it ? :/

I've looked at brazilian shops and auction sites, I can't find any more of this games. So even they do not worth anything I guess they are (maybe?) rare.

At least I couldn't find on the web a place to buy them.

[pepharytheworm]

Open them up, take pics, I want to see the boards.

All this stuff pops up on MercadoLivre very often. Usually for around $20 or less.

Oh, sorry, thought it was in a Japanese cart. Then yes, everything is pirate.

That's not to say the pirates are worthless though, as some pirates can fetch a decent price depending on the game and rarity.

[dreamcaster]

I dunno, that SFC copy of Human Shooting Collection looks like it COULD be legitimate.

Got any closer pics of the cartridge front/rear?

[RASK1904]

Saweeet!

[tom]

I once went to Uruguay , and when I entered a gaming shop I never seen so many bootlegs in my life.
But, as the shop seller said, no-one here can afford 'real' games, everything gets pirated and distributed throughout the country.
Here's what I purchased, in their eyes, 'legally':

[Dire 51]

I'm going to say that yes, the Sonic Wings cart there is official. It looks identical to the one I own, which is very much a legit cart. Super Air Diver, Shooting Collection, Tiny Toons and Akumajuo Dracula look like they could be official too. But then again, without a closer look there's no way to be 100% certain on those five.

Having slots in the back of those doesn't necessarily mean they're pirates: someone could have created their own slots so they'd fit in an SNES. There was a game store near where I used to live in the early '90s that rented out SFC games, but they carved out their own slots in the back so their customers could play them. I still own one that I picked up once they started selling off their 16-bit rentals, and it has homemade slots.

Home made slots would look a bit more obvious though, compared to ones placed there by the manufacturer?

The Super Air Driver almost looks legit to me, but the label is a bit off centre. This could just be a manufacturing error, but I've never come across a Super Famicom with a mis-aligned label.

[Spartacus]

I notice that the Sonic Wings cartridge is missing the pins on the front of the case, but other than that, it looks pretty good.

The Iron Commando is weirdly fascinating, but looks nothing like the real game.

[General_Murdock]

Thanks all for the coments!

I'll add more pirate games when I clean the next box :))

Is there anything else from those games you guys would like to see ?

[squirrel_king]

Could you take some screenshots of A Bug's Life? I've never seen that one for the SNES before. I guess its a port of the Mega Drive pirate original, SNES ones usually seem to be. although there are a couple of exclusives (Pokemon Gold/Silver and X-Men vs Street Fighter IIRC)

[General_Murdock]

Ok :))

I'll take some pictures later.

Now I've started to clean the box 2 :D
Let's see what I can find here to show you guys.
