76 in 1 Cart question
I saw one of these recently and can not find any information on this cart or its rarity, now VGPC says its listed as roughly 80 bucks, but i cant find any pictures of the game so i dont know if the one i found is legit, therefore if i should buy it, any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

76 games, its probably a pirate. Of course it won't be 76 games, it will be a dozen with different hacks or starting at further levels. Most pirate carts were a dime a dozen and aren't worth much. There are any number of 10 in 1, 100 in 1, or 999999(!) in 1, pirate carts that came out of asia.

There is a Caltron 6 in 1 and the craptacular Action 52 that came out in the US that are legit, but unlicensed. The actual games on those are garbage, but they're actually collectable to the right people. Without knowing exactly what you saw, its hard to say, but its likely to be a mostly worthless pirate cart.

Re: 76 in 1 Cart question
Aren't these usually 76 games that are just unknown ripoffs or crappy homemade pos. Not 76 classics on one cart, but 76 made up games. Reminds me of those keychain things that advertised hundreds of games including 75 different versions of ripoff Tetris, 75 different versions of ripoff Space Invaders, 75 different versions of Arcanoid. My Grandparents would always get me this thing and think that I must have had zillions of games all because of them. They have an iPhone app right now that is like 56 games in 1. It has 56 of the most crappy homemade games I have ever played ever.
