Which famicom pirates do you want? I'll look for them...

There are a ton of multicarts that says Super Mario World 3 or something similar and is always Super Mario Bros. 3. You gotta be careful. Super Mario World Full is only on 45 in 1 multicarts, one by JY Company and another by some other company.

Hummer Team, right?

[cubelmariomadness]

Hummer Team is JY. Just another name for JY. I'm pretty sure.

yeah, went back to the flea market.  I found a bunch of single-game carts for about $.60 each, so bought a bunch, but didn't find anything you guys were looking for   I'll have to get back home to see what most of the games i got were since some had no labels and others were all in Chinese. 

I'll let you know what I found then...in the mean time, I'll be checking auction sites which is why i need prices, so I don't over pay for something.  I found some multicarts on auction that had pictures of mario world, but no indication of actually having the game on it.  I asked my friend to email the seller and see, so...slim chance, but who knows...

You should post a pic of them with all the labels showing.  Should be some people here that can identify at least some of them.

You'll be my hero if you can get a Mario World and hold it till Christmas.
I really don't care at all if it's full of demo.

[cubelmariomadness]

I know, it's not like, I WANT IT NOW! Or anything. I'm just saying, if you find a crate of em, can I buy one?

[JC]

Are you sure Nintendo sold games in China? I know there was a limited release of the official Famicom and about four or so pulse line games, but my presumption is that Nintendo failed to make enough sales to keep the product viable and quickly gave up, largely because pirate companies, like Whirlwind Manufacturing, cut into Nintendo's market.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

If he got it, I will get it because I asked first (90% sur).

Or whoever is willing to pay the most, I'm sure.

I've been trying to get my Taiwan contact to find that multi cart with no luck so far. I'll certainly be impressed if sumguy finds it. I actually never considered flea markets in Taiwan, for some reason that concept feels like it doesn't fit over there....

[Trenton_net]

Bah! Multi-carts are a dime a dozen in China. Work on getting singles instead.   

[Bramsworth]

Agreed there. They're also misleading. My recent multi cart I got because one game is titled Earthworm 3 in Chinese, yet says Boogerman in English under it. Took the risk to see it was EWJ or not. It wasn't :/

Besides the one with SMW I can't think of any multi's that offer much that's unique that you can't find on single. Though I guess it's hard to find certain games in either form, so you take what you can get

[Trenton_net]

Ya, multicarts are so sketchy in China. It's such a risk. It's much better to just concentrate on Originals or singles. I could probably get, literally, box's and box's of yellow mutli-carts. How many would be valuable? Probably less than 3%, which sucks!

[sumguy]

sounds right.  i wont worry about getting too many multicarts.  Funny arguments about a game I haven't found and probably wont find  

I'm going to wait on posting pics of what i found until Dec, when I can get home, sort them out and test them on a machine.

Its amazing how much info you guys have on the history of this stuff.  Very interesting.

I'd murder to get in one of those stores for 5 minutes.
