Hey Gang,

This is a long shot, but does anyone own a Famicom multi-cartridge (low count, maybe 32~50 game range, can't recall) where the main menu has bubble bobble characters walking around and throwing bubbles? Also, Macross is notably labeled as "Space Castle" on the menu.  ???

There are a lot of cartridges with the Bubble Bobble-themed characters. Sane Ting did a whole series of them including the famous 31 and 32 in 1, which actually have an easter egg inside giving a credit / shout out to a guy at NTU. This is a huge deal for those in the know, haha.

Regarding, Macross, I honestly don't remember. It may be named as "Space Castle" on some of the menus but it definitely wasn't hacked on the actual game title screen in this way, unlike some other games "Mr Mary", "Esgimo", etc. I'd have to dig out my multicarts and look though that's a project I don't plan to do in the near future; that being said, that actually does give me an idea that I should document the menu "names" and the label "names" and then document what they actually mean, as there is a lot of logic behind it all.

If you're interested in oldschool multicarts, you owe it to yourself to get this:

Hmm, well I scoured youtube for about an hour and only came up with a partial fit. The classic JY-10 ball series.

I'll keep looking, but good luck on your search.

I still haven't published volume 2 yet. It's on my to do list.

The books are really on sale quite well at the moment, around $36 each. It's a really good deal.
