So while staring into a box of Gameboy pirate carts, I managed to hype myself into "needing" more of these things. So I went to a few Danish online marketplaces and these things are still all over the place.
The most odd thing is that people seem to think that multicarts must be worth a fortune, some were trying to charge upwards of $80 for just one cart.
I did manage to find a seller with a reasonable $7 per cart, and I added another 3 carts to my slowly but ever growing collection of carts that really hold no value, but for some odd reason I enjoy them.
So this is one of 3 carts added to my collection in 2025 :-)
Why did I pick this one? well the list of games on the label were not visible at all on the picture, but the label still looked cool, and that was reason enough to pick it up.

Now, let's have a look at the menu, Super GB 76 in1, it does not say Super GB on the label though.

The menu is only showing 10 entried per page. You use Up or Down to select a game on each page, or to go to the next page - Select will also take you to the next page. Start or A starts the selected game while the B button does nothing at all.
So here we have a cartridge which claims to have 76 games, but if you take a closer look at the menu, you might be able to see that it starts to repeat itself with bogus titles quite early on, very early on actually.

How awesome, this cartridge gives you a whopping 7 unique tiles out of the 76 it's claiming to have. Okay okay, so Hugo, which is in German by the way, and Street Racer are not typical ones on a pirate cart, but the rest are.
For a cartridge being released in 1998, according to the label, this is really a sloppy piece of work with a below average number of games - not worth it at all.
Oh well, at least it has a nice label I guess :-)
