gospeedde Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I know Parker Brothers made Montezuma's Revenge, so what would an Imagic copy of this cart be? Is it a pirate? I didn't think Imagic made pirated games. =confusion, enlighten me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamemaster_ca_2003 Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 It's Most likely a Brazilian Pirate and there are Pirate carts from those people claming to be Imagic. I have found 2 examples scroll down http://vgmuseum.8bitcomp.com/unusual_labels.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcostin Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Those pirate carts are neat. Freaky, randomly named renditions of common games. I recognize the artwork used on two of the labels on the "Other Cartridges" page. The Genus scorpion one at the top is lifted right out of an ad for a VIC-20 game (Scorpion from Tronix). And the "game fingers" illustration on the fake Imagic cart near the bottom of the page was from a Suncom joystick ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 I love Brazilian carts. I started a collection a few months back. Fun stuff in there, 'specially the multicarts. Mostly though it's a great way to get NTSC versions of games that were only released in PAL (Mr. Postman, Bobby is Going Home, Nuts & Milk, Snail vs. Squirrel, Apples & Dolls, etc.) and otherwise rare games (Friday the 13th, Condor Attack, Spider Maze, etc.) Many of the labels are amusing, too, particularly Tron labels. Only thing I find about Brazilian pirates is that it's damn near impossible to find good labels on 'em. Probably due to the way they're found nowadays -- in outdoor, makeshift markets.

tyranthraxus Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 My cousin came back from Brazil with a case of Montezuma's Revenge. It was an awful mess, best left in the tropics IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 thats balls. not only will we pirate your compaines games we will pirate your companies name too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyranthraxus Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 thats balls. not only will we pirate your compaines games we will pirate your companies name too! Well by faking a name they might be trying to mimic a percieved quality that the company name has down there. I know that amongst the bootleg music labels that circulated live concerts in the early 90s on cds before mp3 sharing days, would often copy a company name of a bootlegger known for better quality releases to make their inferior releases seem more desirable. There is no honour among thieves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
