Cool Pirated Find

[aramconbrat]

My mother just sent me a ninja turtle game she found overseas.

It is the Tournament Fighters Game but is the Sega version that is entitled Mutant Warriors.

The thing is they designed a whole box for this game, a whole Super Nintendo box and sticker for a clearly Sega cartridge.

This isn't uncommon as I have much pirated merchandise from this location overseas as it is not regulated and they buy one copy of a game and make multiples and sell them in the stores in the malls. I just thought it was cool because they designed a whole realistic looking box for this "Super Nintendo" game when the cartridge isn't even Super Nintendo. They even omitted "Teenage Mutant Ninja" when they editted out the backround from the Sega graphics.

Always a great addition to an every growing collection. If I get my camera working I'll post pics

My mother told me that pirating was illegal... she was like, "real fans pay for merchandise."

NO PUN INTENTED.

Oh I don't support pirating in the least. But it is over a decade old and pirating is very common in countries overseas. I doubt my brother could even find a real copy of a game over there.

It isn't as though I bought it new. I just received it as my mother paid like a dollar for it at a garage sale.

I'm a collector... I collect ninja turtles and even the knock offs from Japan and Mexico have a place in my collection

And for the record... I have probably spent more than about 90-95% of people on here... I've invested easily a few thousand dollars in my ninja turtle stuff so it isn't as though I'm not a "real fan" and not paying for merchandise.

Sorry.. COmp went bonkers and started posting multiple times

excuse me for being rude… but don't be stupid. it's a pirated copy of a long out of print game and it was bought at a garage sale, he's in no way supporting pirating. some of you are sounding like idiots in this thread.

i'd like to see pics, hope you get the camera working.

Some people collect old pirated version of games, I for one would love to get my hands on some old pirated nes carts. The tend to have original artwork.

Nothing wrong with it. Unless we are talking about pirated games from todays age. Ones which require a CD burner.

Back then it was different, you did the cart casing and artwork it was a skill.

Words to live by... When an official version of a product is commercially available, you should buy it to show your support. But, for anyone who would care to refute my opinion, a discontinued videogame doesn't hurt anything. The liscensors make no money off the product anymore anyway. No harm, no foul. Like (as off-topic as it is) the Aussie-released ep of the new show, Insane in the Membrane, is anyone really hurt by it being swapped across the internet? Since they aren't planning to make money off of it anyway, the fans who brought it to us are not accountable for piracy. When and if it is ever released on DVD, reassessment of the situation will be in order.

It's a double edged sword.

Is buying a bootleg version of a game thats over 10 years old hurting the company? Nope. I feel like if the item is no longer being produced and is a consumer item, it isn't that wrong.

I've downloaded every episode of the new TMNT cartoon. I also woke up every saturday morning for three years to watch the episodes as they aired. I missed a total of 6 in three years. I have also bought every basic 6 inch figure with the expection of Quarry, since I haven't found it yet. I also buy every TMNT comic that comes out. Am I supporting piracy? Yes. But no one is making a profit off of me, and Mirage is making plenty off of me as a life long fan. At the same time, I've bought all the dvd releases of the original toon. I guess its just a difference of perception.
