Here we have a cart featuring Flappy, Dr. Mario and two other unknown games (that illustration of a guy? with his arms out looks familiar, anyone know what it is from?). Not much else noteworthy here, except the "Next" verbiage and button, where the "Nintendo Game Boy" verbiage is supposed to be. This button is used on many pirate GB multis to select games on the cart; as far as I know, no 'legit' GB cart has such a button.

When I first saw this cart, I was... attracted, this cart is amazing! I am spellbound, man! Hehehe. Anyways, I don't know what is on this, but this has the most bizarre pirate label art of all the pirates here, no small feat, I have no idea where it came from.

A 10-in-1 found on eBay.com.au. This cart actually has an ID, probably just lifted from wherever they go the label art. Speaking of the label art, check out the bizarre artwork they used on the label! Anyone know where the art is taken from? You can see "10 in 1" in English on the top, don't know if it is printed on the label or is a sticker. There is a small button on the cart just above the label, like many carts here, it is probably used to change between the games on the cart.

While I don't really intend to cover the Color Game Boy on this site, and for the most part stick with the classic B&W model, I couldn't help but include this! Yes folks, it is a Color Game Boy pirate multi, the first I have ever seen. As you can see above, this contains 11 of the hottest Japanese CGB games today. This game has no repeats (that is what it says in the little seal next to "Super" on the label in fact), according to the guy on eBay selling this. If I were him, I'd watch my ass selling something like this, NOA would really love to bust someone for selling one of these. Oh, well :)

I am pretty sure the background of the label is the real Bomberman GB label, except it is a close-up image of a section of the label, and the background is faded a little and text placed over it (this is sure occurs a lot on pirate GB carts as you can see), and also has Japanese and English on it like the 24-in-1. What stands out to me is the "Game" on the label, as if the rest of "Nintendo Game Boy" was deliberately left off when they cast the plastic for the cart. There is also what I believe to be a reset button on the cart, like the 44-in-1. Beyond this, I don't know anything about it, such as the number of actual games, if they work, etc.

Wow, check out the goofy text on the left hand side of the box, that is supposed to look like the real, official Game Boy Color indicia? Well, first, Nintendo never abbriviates on the indicia, and second it is the wrong font completely, and as we all know, the indicia has a refractive background. Geesh! All games on this cart are in English. The cart that comes in this box has the following games: Conker's Pok Tale, R-Type DX, Blade of Steel, Hugo 2 1/2, Color Rox, Bust A Move 3, Roadsters 98, Pocket Color Block, Tetris, Motoross Maniacs, Space Invaders, Penguin Land, Conker's Story, Air Force, Ice Hockey. Whether the misspellings here are as written on the cart or the onscreen menu, or the guy selling this misspelled them, is unknown, I would assume the former myself, knowing pirate carts

This is a unique cart, for many reasons. Mostly, because it contains every Mario/Wario game released, and probably some hacks of those games as well (see the list of games to follow). If you look closely, you'll see Super Mario World on the label too. Geesh! Actually, I do rather like the use of clipart here, the close-ups of actual cart art makes the games look really exciting. Please note, this cart may claim more than 18 games, since I can't read Japanese I don't know, but there are 18 games found on it by the guy selling it on eBay. Anyway, the games on this cart are: Wario Land II (Color), Mario Gallery II (5 in 1), Mario Gallery I (4 in 1), Super Mario Brother IV, Wario Land I, Super Mario Land II, Super Mario Land I, Pipe Mario Land, Dr. Mario, Puzzle Bobble III,, Snow Brother, Soccer Mania, Alley way, Master Karate, Tetris II, Tank Battle City, Flipull, Crystal Quest.

Here is another GBC pirate cart, which, in fact, also contains B&W GB games as well (such as Mulan). In the upper right hand corner is the FIFA World Soccer mascot, so I assume the "Road To France '98" game is a FIFA game. Also of note are the numerous misspellings on the label, especially "Dick Tales", heh. There is also a Mario 64 game, which is probably a hack of an existing Mario GB game.

These piates are becoming more and more blatent, note the verbiage along the left hand side of the label. They state explicitly that all the games are color games, and that the cartridge contains a batter and you can, in fact, save your saved games :) The guy selling this didn't mention much about it, other than it contains Beat Mania, Pokemon, and SD Gundam. Anyone know more?

If you look closely, you'll see the background on the label is the label on the real "Lion King" GB cart, with the list of games superimposed on top. One of the things I think is rather cool about it, is that the games are listed in both English/Romanji and Japanese (well, strictly speaking, I am pretty sure it is Japanese, and not Chinese). Anyone have more info?
