Super 8 in1

Back again with yet another Gameboy prototype - I have been collecting these for many many years, ever since being intrigued by my first encounter with a Gameboy pirate cart back in the early 1990's. My parents had some friends from Norway visiting and their daughter had this odd cartridge, I believe is was 16 in 1 or so on, with a reset button on the back of the cart to select between games - if my memory serves me right.

While they were out shopping I "borrowed" the Gameboy to check out the games and I think I accidentally used up all of the battery, oops!

What we have here is not that very 16 in 1 unfortunately, but an 8 in 1 I have acquired quite recently, with probably the worst and most blurry label I have ever seen on a Gameboy pirate.

Now, let's have a look at the menu, which won't take a lot of time as there is only 8 entries.

The menu is very basic yet nice looking, in my oppinion. You use Up, Down ... or for some strange reason Select to toggle between the 8 entries. Start or A starts the selected game while the B button does absolutely nothing. 

Typically pirate carts boasts about having a high number of games, and this one doesn't though, it claims to have 8 games and it keeps its promise.

The theme is the cartridge seems to be racing games, the label even says something like "The racing team plays with their heart", if you can trust google translate :-)

Super R.C. Pro-Am is probably the highlight of the cartridge in my oppinion, that game is so great - but it's awesome to see a selection of games that do not typically appear on pirate multicarts.

All in all a very nice cartridge, except for the label :-)
