Hi...

I was in San Francisco, walking around Fisherman's wharf yesterday and I
went into one of those electronics/prey on tourist stores..

They had a few gba games that they said had various numbers of games on
them: 50, 150, 200+

These, they said, were the regular full versions of these games, and that
the 200+ cartridge was $150...

what's the story with these? can you get them anywhere online?

Yeah, someone I knew at school came back from Pakistan with one of those
"bootlegged" cartridges from a flee market. You know, those places where
you haggle down the market trader from a ridicules starting price...

Anyway, this particular game Pak contained full versions of Yoshi's Island
and Advance Wars together with a whole host of old SNES and NES games, most
of which were not that great.
But for 150 games, working out the total cost after currency exchange rate,
he paid £45 pounds...

He then brought the thing back to the UK, which of course is smuggling and
totally illegal...

If you buy *any* video game cart not licensed by the parent company, chances
are 99.9991% it won't save. Chances are slightly lower that the actual
plastic of the cart will warp and no longer fit into the cartridge slot. If
you find a bootleg cart, never pay more than $5 for it, as the only reason
to own one is the novelty of the thing.
