Synthead Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Looking through the rarity guide, I noticed like a million Twain Cooper carts that were like cheap rip-offs of other carts. Are they pirate carts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Yup. Japan was chock full of 'em. Probably not nearly as much as Brazil, but they had pirates just like 'em all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Don't think they're Japanese actually - the 2800 never had enough market share. The "Taiwan Cooper" label name covers a multitude of sins - many pirate labels are given the Taiwan Cooper moniker even when they're not, just because they're anonymous and of a similar kind of style - kind of like Zellers carts are nothing to do with Zellers, they just happened to be sold there (although that's a slightly different kettle of fish because the boxes had "Zellers" printed on them IIRC). Basically they're Taiwan pirate carts that appeared throughout Europe mostly, and are normally PAL I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
