price check: 160 in 1, etc

Post by Dude »

It's the 160 in 1 GBA, a 45 in 1 and a 40 in 1 GB. I don't know what are on the last two, but the GBA has the most popular games. From what I understand there are no repeats. Someone from Nintendo Age said $15-20, but I sense that was assuming there were repeats and throwaway games.

Any price ideas?

that's probably about right. Honestly nobody really cares about this multicart bootlegs. Think of it this way -- hardcore collectors don't want a bootleg of various games, they want to collect a bunch of games. And people who just want to play ROM's will opt for a flash cart and a bunch of games that they want to play chosen by them. These xx-In-1 carts are just not practical so nobody's really that interested in them.

And yeah more often than not there's way less games than advertised -- usually with repeated games under different titles.

Any idea on how many repeats per cart? And are these the original games usually?

there's no rule. They're bootlegs so they differ. Usually they are just the original games. yes.
