    Hey guys,
    This is my first post on here, and we've (my partner and I) been having a hard time finding any information on a NES Multicart that we have in our possession. It is in fully working order and I believe it to be rare. We've tried selling it on eBay but after discovering that it was a pirated release, we had no choice but to pull the auction down.
    I've uploaded photos of this multicart below for you guys to check out and maybe shed some light on this dim topic that is quite difficult to find information on and how much it is actually worth. Any help would be much appreciated! :)
    We've managed to find some information here:

    http://www.videogameobsession.com/videogame/hk/nes190.htm

    And other bits and pieces here and there off many other forums.

    I'd thought you guys would probably be the best bet to find any more information about this Japanese Multicart.
    Another reason why I thought I'd post on here too, is the fact that somebody might want to add this multicart to their collection or they've been looking for it, etc.
    Anyways, here's the photos and some other information that we managed to find about it.

    Thanks again, guys :)

    This is a Chinese multi-cart. It is very common in Asia and not really worth much at all.

    UPDATE: Another interesting tidbit - If you open up the cartridge you'll note that it's actually a Famicom game inside using an adapter to convert the pins for use in North American consoles. Lots of Chinese manufactures like to do that to make it more import friendly.

    A friend of mine had that specific cart when I was young, he had to mod his NES to play it, but that may have been because it's meant to be played on an American NES. Is your NES NTSC or PAL?

    He might have need to mod his system if the lockout chip was causing problems.

    Less common on account of it being NES rather than Famicom but still just another pirate multicart. I'd be amazed if you ever found out anything about it that you don't already know - these are shady products made by fly-by-night companies and imported under the radar, it's not like anyone responsible is going to be up for an interview...

    where did you get that bit that says "SUPER VISION" with the list of games? Supervision is a large pirater of NES games but that doesn't look like a standard supervision cart

    I pinpointed that it was the same cart due to the fact, that the list of games found on the website that I found, was exactly the same. In fact, the screen at the main menu on MY TELEVISION uses the same graphics. If anyone thinks that my claim is indeed fraudulent - then I will post myself, holding the cartridge and then me waving to the camera, with the television in the background playing the games on this multicart.
    I was simply asking for some help, because I've seen the cart going for $300 - $500 elsewhere, but have also had claims that people don't even think that its worth $15. So yeah... I just wanted some clarification. If you want a watermark on a photograph, I'll put "Astral Nexus" in semi-translucent text on the top right of the image for you.
    Thanks.

    Surely you mean "asking" rather than "going"? I can't really believe that anyone would actually pay $300 or more for a Chinese pirate multicart. $15 is nearer the mark, maybe a little more as it's NES, but if anything it should be less than that.

    I think perhaps you misunderstood me, I didn't mean to insult you at all. I was just pointing out that the image was already watermarked (bottom left), so finding out where it came from was easy.

    This is one of the "good" famiclone carts we were talking about in that other thread.

    I'd shell out no more than 20 dollars for it, but good famiclone cart nonetheless.

    Meh, It's alright I guess. It has a good selection of basic games, but it repeats after 100. You usually get into a higher class of "good" once you break the 101-175 barrier with no repeats. But then again, if you look at the age of the cart, you can't really fault it. Back then everything was expensive. Now days with cheap electronic components, you can find multi-carts packed to the brim with chips and games.

    It does not worth more than $20-$25, These carts aren't that rare. If you seen one copy gor for 300 then it must have been a crazy buyer or fake bids.

    Indeed. This one has all of the launch games and all of the common famiclone filler games - and that makes it one of the good ones, but there isn't much more from it. The repeats kind of kill it.
