Other people derailed the thread into debates about dumping games and releasing them to the public.
In history there were far more elaborate hoaxes which were more expensive to pull off, and would take far more effort. All that was used was a plain NES cart with a generic printed label, and screenshots of a self programed game(most likely run on a flash cart on an actual NES and TV). All he did was post pics of the cart with screenshots, and gave fake descriptions of gameplay. I just lurked back then but I remember reading through it, pretty funny stuff once the "Eat Communism" pics were posted.
