Caltron 6-in-1

From The Cutting Room Floor

Revision as of 06:42, 26 April 2012

A mediocre game compilation by NTDEC, released under one of its many aliases. It's decent probably only because most of the games are ripoffs of other games, with the exception of Magic Carpet 1001. It's also one of the rarest NES games in history, but the Myriad version is even rarer, even though it's the same game just with a new label plastered onto the cartridge that doesn't even cover the old label properly! At least it's better than Action 52.

Pokey

This multi-cart contains the unmodified PRG data for a game called Pokey, which was one of the first unlicenced NES games and was made by NTDEC in 1989. The only thing it's missing is some of the graphics, which can be found in the Asder 20-in-1. This suggests that Caltron intended to include Pokey on the main menu, but it was cut due to time or space issues.

Unused Graphics

These are leftover Megasoft logos from Cosmos Cop, Balloon Monster, and Porter. They were all originally released separately on cartridges under the Megasoft name, and the logo graphics can still be found in those games.

Unused Text

This is only loaded in memory on the main menu, which suggests NTDEC planned to (or did?) release this cart under the Mega Soft name in 1991.

This also is only loaded in memory on the main menu, and is a message from one of the developers.
