I haven't seen this one before. That cover for it looks sweet!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Ha! What an awesome collection of games! Only half of R Type... I'm surprised!

Still, it is a neat combination... especially if you have a PCE GT and don't want to lug a bunch of HuCards around.

I can tell you that this seller is reliable (well, at least he was 2-4 years ago when I used to buy stuff from him). Everything was as described (i.e. when he says mint, it is in mint condition). He has sold these 4-in-1 cards before (I remember bidding on some of them... like the 4-in-1 with Blodia, boxyboy, etc. etc. ... Yes, I wanted it because I wanted to show it off a Blodia 4-in-1 to GUTS).

I might of been interested in bidding on this Frankenstein, but it looks like Black Tiger's beat me to it (and I don't care enough to want to enter a bidding war).  Good luck Black Tiger!

I have one with the Tiger Heli sequel, Dodgeball, King of Casino and Super Volley Ball.

They're fun to have and that looks like a good collection.

It's an 8MB hucard with each game taking up 2 MB.  That's why there's only half of R-Type.

I found this if you're interested:

I just placed a single bid like I did with the last one. eBay never warned me it was ending and I just happened to win with my original bid. :P

of course it's like that, but estebans question was, why they didn't put part II of r-type on the card instead of one of the other 3 titles.

It would be awesome if the US version of R-Type is in that HuCard.

It's not.

The cartridge is only 8 megabits.

We know the other three games are all 2 megabit.

That means the R-Type game on there has to be 2 megabit as well.

The US version (the complete game) is 4 megabit.

I think that they just grabbed any HuCards from a themed pile and slapped them on a multi-card without putting much thought into it in most cases.
