found strange famicom pirate ("1944")

[Zubiac666]

A couple of weeks ago I found an auction ("1944 for NES") on a(very good) "ebay-wannabe"-auction site.There was no pic of the game but it was only 1 euro and no bids and so I bought it.
3 days later the package arrived at my place.
I opened it and took out a boxed (pirate-)famicom card in perfect condition.
I looked on the box of the game and it covers the "1944"-covershot and several screenshots from other NES/famicom games(donkey kong,...).
So I guess it's one of the hundrets multi-cards out there (I cannot test it cause I haven't a famicom and my converter is broken).
There's also a handwriting on the front-cover which says "LH 201 - 1944".
The same letters are written on the side of the box.(see pics below).
The card itself has also the 1944 cover and there are some (english) warnings and quality-"what's the word?" on the back.
On back of card is written:
on the left:

The unique manufaturer adopting high class IC and processed by not oxidized gold plate on the apparatus, to protect protect your IPU."
in the middle:

Quality Guaranty
on the right:

CASSETTE
Remarks:
Since this is a sophisticated apparatus, should avoid to operate or to store under extreme temperature, also avoid violent bumps is necessary;moreover, never disassemble it.
The reason causing defaults are: Touching the end field by hands, or cleaning by wet materials.
uhh.... :hmm:

however....
what makes it interesting is the quality of box and card.
It's above-average. The plastic,the converting,the screenshots,the coverart,... are all high-quality. I've never seen/felt a pirate card with this quality.
the second interesting thing is that there is NO info about it!
Believe me, I've searched weeks through google and hundrets of famicom-clones/pitares sites but it never appeard anywhere.

So,anyone of u have seen this weird thingy before or got some info about it.
Any help would be welcome.

Big thanx in advance Zubiac
ohh...here are the pics:

Well, dude, to be honest, there isn't a ehole lot of documentation about ANY pirate carts in particular...there's a few rare exceptions, but not many.

Basically, people tend to only cover true releases, not pirates, since they are considered worthless and not collectibles. Lol, I guarantee every major collector in this forum has a stack of pirates, but officially, they are worthless.

In an ideal world, there would be a DP guide that covered pirates, but in an ideal world, there would be no pirates, so it is contradiction that can never be a reality.

To have a collectors guide/forum/site/fanbase/whatever dedicated to pirates is to encourage the pirates to make more, so it is not encouraged. Unofficially, thanks for the pics. Always cool to see "new"/weird pirate carts.

there are some sites covering LOTS of famicom-pirates.
They even cover just one theme: Famicom clones and pirates
I know that they will never cover all of them.
I just think my pirate is unusual cause the box,the quality and stuff.

A DP-pirate games guide would be great though (at least one for NES/famicom)
but then it would suck too

hehe, i saw this cart a lot of times here, it´s easy to find...

it looks like it's by one of the normal pirate companies. i have a bunch of games with that same warning label. never have seen a box like that though, which is probably worth more than the cart itself. multi carts are a dime a dozen.

Yeah, I know, but the ration of pirate to "official" game sites is immensely tpped toward the officials...

Exactly. Whereas sites like DP, et al try to do exactly that.

I finally solved the mystery.
Got my new famiclone "New Flash" (which is an awesome N64-style clone) today and it plays the pirate with no probs.
and the pirate is "just" 1944 ( :D ) .....NO multigame-cart which is strange cause box-art shows different games

oh and 1944 is great (the best of the series)
one of the best shooters on famicom
no slowdown and flicker (despite dozens of welldrawn enemies and bullets) which is incredibly hard to do on famicom hardware

thanx to all for help and info
cheers
