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

[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?

Saweeet!

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':

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.

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.

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
Let's see what I can find here to show you guys.
