I only have The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy.



edit: oh whoops. I didn't read.

I guess all I can offer you now is that it also came in a weird looking box.

Pegasus 4in1? Thats what my quattro arcade is called in-game. Have you seen a cart with a Pegasus 4in1 label?
So ends another chapter in the glorious legend of the Ninja... Until next time...

I based my list on the NES titles. There's definitely a unique label for Famicom Pegasus 5 in 1, but I'm not sure 4 in 1 is different from Quattro Arcade.

If that silver box is the one you're talking about, that's not the box that originally came with that game.

JC, according to jbholio's site and my Polish sources there is a "Big Nose: The Caveman" game cartridge - i saw it and had it years ago so You can consider it as a "confirmed" title ;-)



Also (once again jbholio's site comes handy) the "Pegasus 4in1" cart is the same as "Quattro Arcade" BUT there was a two different sets of games on "Quattro Arcade" - the one i know from Poland :



and the other from jbholio's site (never saw it in my life, especially as a FC cart) :

Final word for that "Pegasus 5in1" aka "Golden Five" in Poland, here it is :

Nice, so that just leaves Quattro Sports and any other games I don't know about. For example, Videomation isn't a Codemasters title, from what I can tell, but it was released by BIC and is an original.

Realtec also published a bunch of games from Codemasters :

BMX Simulator
Boomerang Kid
Go! Dizzy Go!
Soccer Simulator (2 different labels)
Super Robin Hood

Ultimate Stuntman

I've seen Realtec boxes for these games but no cartridges :
Bee 52
Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy

JC

I've never seen a single Realtec game for sale. The only thing I've seen is Realtec's Game Genie. Must be rare ones.

just came across this via a polish forum:
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_tbPUSWhIUVo/SwzoJB0PmyI/AAAAAAAAAtc/qW5ALAY3fRQ/BIC_cardridge_iq-502.jpg

most of the games are already known, but you can see Fire Dragon (i'm assuming this is the Snake clone by Gamtec) and the other version of Quattro Arcade towards the back.
some of my stuff: twitter // super multi // handheld underground

Hmm...wonder if Fire Dragon was just in the ad pic or was actually released.

I have a picture of a 72 pins black NES cartridge with the same label. It doesn't say BIC on it but it has the Gametec logo on the upper right side of the label. If I remembre correctly, I got the picture from a brazilian auction site.

Hate to bump a thread this old, but have a question.  Some of the games were released in NES boxes, and then had trays in them to fit the Famicom games (i.e. look at the pic of Fantastic Dizzy).  Does anyone know if these games were also released in small box form?  I have a CIB Bic Mig 29, and it has the regular NES box, and was wondering if Bic had ever released it in a smaller box, more the appropriate size of a Famicom game.
