Dino Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Congrats Schitti! That's an awesome purchase. I'd say these came out of the same factory. The boxes were reasy, but the cart labels weren't and so it was sold with this cart. I'm certain taht the cart came with the box. there's no way this seller mixed and matched these two rarities.

jahfish Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) There's obviously a connection between Suntek, Fantastic Game and Pet Boat. of course ... i'm sure all this crap comes from the same taiwanese factory ... it's like a Mc Donalds menue ... just make your basic order and then choose your favorite label style and think of an imaginary company name that'll be slapped on there i still believe that this is how it worked. there might have been a few more middlemen (like Ample) but i strongly believe that there wasn't much more than a handfull of production facilities in taiwan, indonesia, thailand .... this is still how the sneaker market works nowadays ... most sneakers are made at the same facility 40 miles away from hongkong: nike, adidas, reebook, lots of skate shoes ... all come from the same factory. and most of their false replicas from a factory in guangzhou Edited June 3, 2011 by jahfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that you can break the games into three categories - Originals, "Licenced" items and Pirates. The Bitcorp, Ultravision/Funvision, Homevision brands released originals as well as licenced games (from each other) and pirates. Then there were brands that operated under licence, such as Suntek and Rainbowvision. Then there were pirate games released under the supervision, spacevision, creativision and every other "vision" labels. Whilst there were loads of originals, licenced games and pirates, there really weren't many companies behind all these brands/labels. Probably one or two, with a few factories scattered through Asia.

Dino Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Marco no longer has 2 sky divers Yes he has. Well if he does, then its no longer an R10 (along with a few others on that list) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if he does, then its no longer an R10 (along with a few others on that list) But Skydiver has tom as one owner and marco has 2 copies,so thats still R10,unless someone else owns one... besides if the NTSC guys can still call games with a dozen or so copies R10 ,,so should us PAL people.

Rom Hunter Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) If some of these titles are four or less known to exist, please let me know and I'll correct this. Indeed: Frostbite Bailey's name was misspelled. He asked me to change it. Edited June 22, 2011 by Rom Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Marco still has two, then there are four as I know marco has sold one of those original two. But given you're earlier post, i doubt that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) The two from Marco included the one he sold (to who, btw?), so there are still three. I'll remove UFO Patrol from the Holy Grail list. Man, I truly hope I will receive a Walker scan some day. It's still missing from our database and Marco seems to be the only one owning the released version.

pangasinan Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 2 x R10 Blister Paks maybe ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) Excellent. What's that third one? Would love to have good front and back scans of each one seperately. Edited June 25, 2011 by Rom Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pangasinan Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Here are scans,the front scans are not possible as my new scanner puts the background out of focus and the cart in focus,so i have taken photos.. So it looks like all HES games with this type of label came in blister paks,another mystery solved . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofrills100 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 HES cartridges in the clamshell 2paks also had those labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
