nes 20 in 1 and converter

[jonjandran]

I just picked up at Goodwill a Famicom to Nes Converter made by Honeybee. And it had a Nintendo made in japan 20 in 1 cart with it. It works good but some games are different that what it says on the menu. Also for some strange reason 1 in every 4 or 5 times you start it , it starts as Double Dribble and not as a 20 in 1 cart. Well anyway, is it worth anything?

I don't knw anything about worth, but that's a pretty neat Goodwill find! Are you sure the 20 in 1 is official? I'm far from an expert, but I didn't think the big N made multicarts.

I'm sure an expert can tell you more, but that label screams out "pirate" to me. (Then again, look at the box art for the 32 in 1 for the 2600 by Atari.) I sure wouldn't put it past the pirates to use the nintendo logos, but I could be waaaay off base. I know next to nothing about Fami. :)

I'm sure it's pirate. I don't think Nintendo ever made an official 20 in 1. Is there a copyright on the label?

What I noticed was the word "Kaiser" on the label. This is consistent with a known pirate famicom company (if you can call anything they do consistant).

See this link and scroll down to "Dream Shop" for an example of their work: http://www.gamersgraveyard.com/repository/nes/pirate/pirate-famicom-single-A-H.html

It's probably a fair bet that they simply reused an official cart shell for their pirated games.
