Anyone got any?
I'm getting some stuff tomorrow and included in the bundle is a pirate of Tiger Heli. It comes in an odd box and is apparently a larger HuCard with an EPROM on it according to the guy I am buying it off.
So what have you guys got?

I lost a bid on a 4-in-1 HuCard a few years ago. That is the only pirate HuCard I've ever came close to owning. I haven't seen too many, though I never actually sought them out.

I have meant to tell lkermel that the 4-in-1 HuCard I was lusting for was a PUZZLE compilation, including: BLODIA, BOXYBOY, _______, and ______. I used to remember all four games, but at this moment I'm coming up short. It most certainly was a volume in this series (http://www.vgden.com/vgden_pi.htm).
Anyway, I saved a picture of the item... only to lose it somehow (it was 2-3 years ago). I have some old archive CD's I can look through, but it's unlikely I saved it.
BLODIA was pirated! I'm not making this up.

I have the following "pirated" PCE HuCards:
Formation Soccer Human Cup '90 (HuGO Soft 251-103)
Mahjong Gakuen Touma Shiro Tojo (HuGO Soft 251-125)
Splatterhouse (King TL89003)
4-in-1 (#3) (King TL89003)
the #3 4-in-1 contains Bomberman, R-Type II, Alien Crush and Kaizou Ningen Shubibinman
The last 2 have the same catalog number since "King" just used the same case but replaced the manual. ..they both just simply say "PC-E GAME" on the spine).

I have a 3-in-1 with like Basketball USA, Bull Fight and Dodgeball... or something.
To play different games you just reset and one randomly comes up.
It looks like a regular HuCard with a pack of matches on it.

http://www.vgden.com/pirates/pce04.htm is the one with the system. Will see if I can take it apart later.

Well, here it is.
Firstly, the picture of the box & cart

Interesting eh?

I seem to recall a NES game, a shooter, that involved both a tank and a helicopter; and I think the art on the box comes from that. I just can't remember the name of the game right now.

Indeed it is. What does the other side of the box look like? I don't think lkermel has a pic of it on his site.
-
according to the article about it, the front and back are identical.

Yup, exactly the same.

I've got a pirated copy of strider for MD , but nothing for PCE.
-
I only got that bootleg Sapphire and a couple of the Games Express games. Nothing as interesting as those Chinese/HongKong cards.

Hi Guys !
I can not believe I missed this thread !!!! Thanks a lot for the amazing info you posted here !!! especially for the 4-in-1 Hucards !!!!
Could you check, like for mine, if the copyright information was removed from the games ? This would mean that those ROMs are different than the original HuCard games. I've never finished any of them though, but I wonder if they also removed any copyright info the end credits too...

Yeah, all copyright info was deleted off the Ultimate Tiger pirate jobby I have. Never got off level one though(Mainly because I don't like the game) so I can't tell you about the ending.

I have a pirate of Ulitmate Tiger, that is a standard Hucard, with the label on the spine saying PC-Card PC-E GAME NO.3. The booklet unfolds, rather then opens like a normal booklet, & there's some very basic pics & info on how the game works, & about the stages on either side of the unfolded booklet. And there's no copyright info anywhere! But, like I said, it's a regular Hucard, works perfectly, comes in a Hucard slip & everything. I got it off ebay awhile back, not knowing it was a pirate until I got it. I always did think it was wierd saying PC-E game, but didn't totally think about it being a pirate until now :oops:
And now that I think about it, I think it was shrinkwrapped when I got it. And I'm looking at the back of the card, it say PC-CARD, then a bunch of Japanese stuff, then some notes of what not to do to the card, in english, & finally KING & some japanese. And looking at the original at PCECP.com, I can see they removed the top left HE System PC Engine, but putting a small picture of the snake from the front cover, colored pink. And the entire bottom half of the booklet has a red bar, covering up Taito's info.
-
Yep, this is definitively a pirate for the PC BOY console. I have a couple of games by KING also and I was close to buy the Ultimate Tiger you are talking about on Ebay few months ago... but lost the auction :(
All my KING pirates have also an unfolded booklet and I'll review then on my site soon, but I may contact some of you in the future for pictures and scans of your pirates if that's ok...
-
Well, here are the only real pics you will need of the Tiger Heli

Just out of interest, how much did the one you missed out on go for? Mine is pretty beat up, but I have listed it on ebay anyway.
-
oh, I was talking about the KING version of Ultimate TIger, not the Micro Chiper.
The KING version went for $25 I think... I bought my Micro Chiper Ultimate Tiger for around $20...
As you can see on this link:
VGDEN PIRATE PAGE (http://www.vgden.com/vgden_pi.htm)
My version is quite clean. So I'm not sure how much yours would cost. I would be interested to buy it though... could you point me to your ebay listing ?...

I'm guessing the main advantage of mine is that it is already opened, so ideal for information.

I have this ninja spirit pirate http://www.videogameden.com/pirate.htm?pce02 mine has the text on the back. Is this worth more or less because it's a pirate? it's more interesting at least, I had no idea it was a pirate when I bought it.
