Double Dragon IV if I remember correctly could be that wanna be double dragon game where you have to fight a guy in the bike at the beginning and seems impossible to kick his ass.....I'll find the name of the game when I get to it....


Exactly, It's a hack of Target Renegade:

I have this "Double Dragon IV" cart, but it's slightly different from the one in the video (look at the title screen):





Sorry for the bad quality, the pics are more than a year old and I didn't have a proper camera at that time.

BTW, I love Arumana no Kiseki!! Great game!

And just a title screen hack, I think.

I wonder why some companies would just change a title screen completely and nothing else.  Or companies who put false labels such as Rockman 7 when it's just Rockman 6.

Laziness/Zero budget (and ethics of course).

To generate hype and sell more by deception.

But if they're advertising the same game.... what do they gain from changing the title screen?

Avoiding copyright sanctions. It's a worse legal offense to use a trademark name without permission than copying an entire game.

I see your point now :P Sorry.

That's right, and it applies to many other products as well (not only electronics). I think most of us must have seen "SONI" headphones and stuff like that somewhere... or even ugly engrish text in bootlegs that would otherwise look almost identical to the original thing, even when sometimes they copy the exact brand's name... I once saw a "Nike" (bootleg, but the same name) sports wristwatch with "Michael Jordon" written in it!!!

It's so weird how they have none of this pirate stuff in the U.S.  It would be nice for games and stuff...but I don't want a knockoff of a watch or shoes that I really want unless it's authorized ;) and I know it's an authorized knockoff
