It's not the same bootleg, but I think it is a similar one. Mainly, someone cobbled together a menu interface in 6502 assembler and wrote some game patches [seeing how 9/10ths of the "games" on these are just trainers, or level cheats]. A friend of mine had one a few years ago called a 'Mega Joy' that he got on eBay. Thing was totally ass.

I think this is good for Nintendo, because the overall quality of the games is ass, and I'd like to not see some hackjob attributed to nintendo [as I'm sure most 'joe sixpack' buyers will assume it's a licensed product].

This is a completely different thing than ROMs really, since the secondary market for original NES games doesn't ever trickle any revenue towards Nintendo... and most people share the games for the simple love of them.

Do you know how hard it is to force yourself to pay the prices that some of these games are asking for on eBay? I do... because hell, I still buy NES carts.

Most of them... I'd rather play on an emulator... since the added feature of savestates makes the games less of a pain-in-the-ass, but... I still love to have the carts around.

I even have a powerglove ;)
