Games for the SNES that were produced without the permission or knowledge of Nintendo.

Pirated cartidges and unlicensed games didn't really seem to continue from the 8-bit era, as the SNES copy-protection was much harder to circumvent. This would instead lead to the rise of "video game copiers", which utilized floppy disks instead of cartridges and treated your SNES like a old-fashioned PC.

These were distributed in the rising medium of bulletin board systems (think of today's information superhighway that is the Internet but in a very crude form), and few contemporary unlicensed software seems to have been made during this time.

On the bright side, this prevented the SNES port of Action 52.
