It's good to see a seller who actually gives a shit about this sort of stuff on eBay.

The biggest giveaway of a counterfeit GBA game is the lack of the word "Nintendo" inside the bottom slot of the game with the connectors. Notice how none of the conterfeit games have it?

Avoiding Hong Kong is now pretty much Common sense.

I still love my 76 in 1 pirate Famicom cart.

It features classics such as "Circus Chablie", "Galaza", "Millipecle", "Kingof Chost", "Aukanodi", and SO MANY MORE! Best Famicom cart ever. o_0

Unfortunatly, one of my first ebay purchases was a copied Metal Slug Advance. It was the cart only and came in a very strange fabric bag. needless to say, I dont buy stuff from China anymore. Although it is in English whereas my Japanese version is in, well, Japanese.

I love the bootleg multi game carts though. I got a 46 in 1 for £5 off a mate a while ago and it's loaded with Nes shmups. it's got Argus, Magmax, Xevious, Space Invaders, Millipede, Night Arrow, Star Force and Star Gate as well as Castlvania, Super Mario Bros and a shitload more.

I'd love one of those-- NES games? Where do those come from?

Mostly from dodgy foreign places. I saw a load of them when on holiday in Tenerieffe a few years ago.

This ones on ebay at the moment, along with a load more. It's 130 classic Nes games apparently. I do wonder why Knuckles in on the cart though.
