Super 8 in 1

Hong Kong's pirate market still flourishes to this day, maybe surprisingly. And in it, you can see their fondness for the word "Super". Just about every multi-cart you come across in the late 90s and early part of the new century have the word "Super" somewhere on the label. For a while they also seemed fond of mega multi-carts, advertising on the label the nearly one billion games on the cartridge. A cart never has over about 80 unique games, if you're lucky, and so in later years of the Hong Kong Famicom market, they tended to offer quality multi-carts with less than 10 games on them. And that's true of this Super 8 in 1.

 

Super 8 in 1 (cart)

Eight unique games with a truthful label.

 

What's unique about this cartridge is not that it's got a rare game on it, but it has games that you don't normally find on pirate carts, such as Duck Tales 2.

A boring title screen, but that's usually the case.

 

This cartridge, even though it's got eight unique and uncommon games on it, likely wouldn't sell for more than a few bucks on an auction site.

 

Here's the games list:

 

Duck Tales II; Prince of Persia; Wrestle Mania; Caesars Palace; X-Men; California Games; Mermaid; Double-Dribble.
