Unlicensed/Pirate Game Discussion

SUPER MARIO WORLD (SEGA GENESIS)

Recorded this for you guys....gotta love Pirates, no? Unlicensed hack of an unlicensed Taiwanese Chip and Dale game.....what is this double stuffing!?

[Marth]

Sure it was dumb that they didn't allow you to jump on enemies or break blocks with your head. But in all honesty it does look kinda fun, especially that last bit where nothing look Mario-like at all. It looked challenging. It's basically a fan game that played on a Sega console, and it doesn't look horrendous. I'd give it a go.

or break blocks with your head

Mario broke them with his fist . That's a common misconception that always makes me lol. He'd get a concussion if he used his head.

[Mutsukki]

I had this game and let me tell you.



It's horrible.

SUPER BOY 4 (SEGA MASTER SYSTEM)

What does this look like to you? Another pirate thing I recorded for you guys, and let me tell you, DEM CONTROLS. You have no idea until you experience it for yourself =(.

[Kriven]

Can we maybe have a general pirates and hacks thread?

[Vipershark]

Done. Threads merged.

Please use this as the all-encompassing Pirate Game thread.

[Kriven]

Thanked so hard.

Actually, this works out nicely, it totally didn't even cross my mind to do this.

So, let's keep the chain going then.

DUO BAO XIAO YING HAO (NES)

Chinese RPG featuring the greatest battle theme in existence.

EDIT:

So now, I've got you all more "Super Boy."

You know a game sucks when the demo can't even play it right. But to be honest, I liked the music on Super Boy 3...it's catchy. So here, I recorded it:

DRAGON BALL Z 5 (NES)

This is easily the worst beat 'em up I've ever played. The controls are SO broken. But at least the music is nice.

EDIT:

SONIC 3D BLAST 5 (GB)

Wearing headphones? Then this is the video for you.

So now I've a whole batch I recorded for you guys...my favorite has to be Harry's Legend...I'm amazed at how close to the movie they made it!

Okay, so you guys aren't going to believe me when I tell you that I found an actually ENJOYABLE unlicensed Chinese game. The gameplay is pretty solid and faithful to what it's trying to pirate, Dynasty Warriors. Apparently this is some sort of sequel to another pirate, but the gameplay is actually pretty solid, and the controls are pretty good. It has its share of flaws, naturally, but they don't really get in the way all that much. I recommend grabbing the rom and trying it yourself; a quick google search should net you results.

[Gors]

are you talking about good pirate games?

Spoiler

[Jermungandr]

Oh, I've actually played that Sonic SNES game. If I remember right it's actually a hack of a Speedy Gonzales game.

@Gors: Didn't think they'd port something like that o.o. That has to be one of the best NES graphical games too; everything looks so smooth and detailed.

@Dr: Indeed, that was a hack. It felt a bit off, though, for some reason.
