    Searching in the videogame stores of my town, i've found a lot of MD bootleg games, just like in the 90s!

    Enjoy!

    As google says, 1 euro = 6.73 Argentinan Pesos. Dollar is 5.00
    So that's $5-$6 for the most of them. If i was around there, my shopping bag would be full. Most seem to be NOS. :)

    Holy shit that's incredible. I love the artwork used on MegaDrive bootlegs. If I were still collecting I'd be placing an order.

    that's correct, but i'm sure that if you buy a certain number (let's say more than 5 units), they will give a discount. Most of the things in this store are overpriced.

    Since now even a crap android phone can emulate a Genesis does it makes any sense to spend 6 bucks a pop for these?

    Is there any way to buy these bootleg MD cartridges online? I've already checked eBay to see if any sellers tried to slide by selling a couple. No luck.

    Suddenly, I need Super Mario World Bros.

    It must be the best game about dudes hanging out playing Super Mario World on Megadrive.

    But seriously, that is an incredible collection. I thought I was shocked when I found a shop in Philadelphia that still has N64/GBC/PS1/Dreamcast era games NIB, but this beats it by a long shot!

    Only bootlegs of Chinese "originals" are worth buying IMO. Buying bootlegs of normal games is just cheap and not special at all. That's just my opinion mind you :)

    How are Chinese bootlegs better than Argentinian bootlegs? Expert hand-made craftsmanship?

    Popstation with Dual Shock ripoff.

    Ashens must be in his way to this shop.

    He means that non licensed games (build from zero) worth more than just hacks of licensed games.

    Totally agree. Hacks sucks and dont deserve even a try. Like Silent Scope of Genesis, that is just Lethal Enforcers with different title screen.

    Yakumo is talking about "original" games like Final Fantasy VII for the Famicom, Soul Edge for the Mega Drive,... stuff like that.

    Not that old, the Power Rangers games are using Magiranger/Mystic Force and Abaranger/Dino Thunder for the label art. Earliest the Dino thunder would be is 2003, and earliest the Mystic Force one would be is 2005. Definatly well after the MD's prime for pirates :)
