Title: Pirate multi-boot Hucards
Post by: soop on February 01, 2012, 11:57:10 PM
I never even knew these existed until yesterday.  In fact I didn't know of any pirate HuCards until yesterday.  Are these common?

I see plenty of pirate carts for Megadrive and Famicom for sale here in Japan but I've never come across any HuCards.

Did you pick one up yesterday or something? If you found a new one (not listed on the link Chris posted), please share some pics and info! :D

I'd love to get my hands on one for cheap. Would be fun to play with, especially those eprom ones... wonder if anyone has tried to drop a socket in there and put on a different ROM.

I picked up a copy of Nekketsu Koko Dodgeball Bu on King bootleg/pirate for £8 a good while back.  I have been looking around for other tittles for a couple of years however they have always been at silly prices.

Yeah, I see them pop up on ebay every now and then too.  I remember the first time I saw one, I was like what the hell, did I miss something here?

I had never heard of these before, but I recently got 1 in a TG-16 lot.  I got the 4 in 1 -Blodia /Hatris /Columns Soukoban World pirate HuCard.

Here's another site with information about these:

I wonder if anyone here collects these unlicensed HuCards?

I do, but I don't pay much for them. Video Game Den has a bunch.

I just sold Splatterhouse on eBay. When I came to package it up (the first time I'd properly looked at it) I realised that it's a bootleg. Gutted!

I assume these things are largely worthless?

I would assume that some folks out there collect bootlegs, but not many.

It's hard telling - I've seen 'em go for a bit less than legit copies and I've seen 'em go for quite a bit more.  I guess it depends on who's buying and how desperate they are for something 'different'.

Good thing you realized that it was fake before shipping it out.  I wouldn't say it's worthless since these pirates seem hard to find now days.    There are some game collectors that do collect pirates.   

Is this one yours?  I've never seen a pirate hu in person and would like to see more pics of yours if possible.  I find them intriguing, but not enough to buy or collect them.

Yep, that's the one. I'll get some pictures up later when I get chance.

That Splatterhouse pirate looks pretty decent. I'm not into pirated games myself but have to give credit to whoever is responsible for the PCE pirates, surely the HuCard format wouldn't have been the easiest thing to pirate.

The copy of Bomberman that I posted a while back is still available.  Probably because he wants $24 for it.  I offered him $10 and never heard back.

Two pirate hucards on ebay.  I'm kind of amazed how good of quality these pirates look based on pics.

The King pirates are kinda cool but the multi cards are where it's at.
