haha so lately I have been going through all my old stuff in the basement caues I am moving out of the country soon and I found my old PCE GT along with my Hu Card games. I am going try to see if I can sell them since I would rather let someone enjoy them instead of letting them sit in my basement for another 10 yrs. So I was just taking pics of the cases and manuals with the games and one of the games is Super Volleu Ball but to my surprise when I took out the manual instead of being a booklet it's actually a folded up poster type and the instructions are in Chinese! And then when I looked at the Hu Card itself the image on the card instead of being printed directly onto the card it was actually printed on a sticker and then put on the card. I guess volleyball is pretty straight forward so I never really needed to open up the manual to find out how to play the game so I was fooled all these yrs!! :-S hehe



oops I meant to post this at the general forum instead of the sale and trade forum so can moderator pls move this! :-)

Too bad it doesn't have major Engrish typos like calling it "Super Velocity Ball".

haha instead of "HE system" on the top left corner this one says "TL system" instead so there's your typo hehe. I wonder what TL stands for?

Yeah, Super Volleyball was quite the valuable commodity before that bootleg ruined the collectors market.

But don't worry, I'm sure you can pawn it off on some poor bastard...

It could be one of the bootleg Shuttle or CG systems which was sold in China (and are utter crap).

Back in the days when PC Engine was popular, bootleg Hucard surfaced in Hong Kong and Taiwan.  "TL system" does not stand for the bootleg Shuttle system that was made in China (these Hucard exist before those bootleg machines were made).

As I remember, there are quite a few bootleg Hucard made. I have bought/seen these bootleg titles:

Splatterhouse (there is one currently on Ebay, item #280246785560).  Notice the company is "King music" on the manual.

Human Cup 90


Altered Beast


Mahjong Gakuen

Super Volleyball

4 in 1 including Super Dodgeball, Basketball, Super Volleyball & Human Cup soccer

? in 1 including R Type II & a few titles

There should be more but I can't remember the rest now.  Always check the back of your Hucard if you have any doubt.
