I am posting here to alert lkermel about an item he might be interested in. I am NOT the seller, and I can't vouch for the seller's credibility. Nonetheless, it is an interesting item I have never seen before:

A fellow is selling a pirated 2-in-1 HuCard (PC Genjin + Parasol Stars). Complete in box.

BUT, it is VERY EXPENSIVE. I requested a photo of the items, so at the very least you'll be able to use the photo for the VGDEN website.

Yes, it is a bit expansive, but it's the first I see this version, and it came in box.

I'm interested, but the price .....

Thanks for the photo ! I don't think it's so expensive , a boxed pirated hucard with 2 great games in , the offer is really correct ! You wouldn't pay less for the real hucards.

But i'm sure this is not Japanese but Chinese....

Well, I'm happy that we got a decent picture of this item.

For the record, I would have wanted to buy this HuCard myself, but I simply didn't have the money.

Ooooh noooo !
I totally missed your messages stevek666, both here and PCEngineFx !
Do you know how much did it go for ?... I have Soldier Blade from the same series I think, they both share the same HuCard design (can we still call this a HuCard though ?)
Thanks again for warning me about this... shame I missed it...
I may contact the buyer and ask him to send me a couple of scans, and maybe some information. And I'll post a review on my site...

Hi! I know the seller was asking ~ $80 USD.

It stinks that you missed it!

I saved the photograph that appeared in the thread, but that's all I have, unfortunately.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you that I have seen a 4-in-1 pirate HuCard that included:
1. "Boxyboy" - (I forget the Japanese title)
2. "Blodia"
3. and two more puzzle games like ...
4. (i.e. probably Cratermaze / Doreamon )

It was definitely in the same series as this 4-in-1 HuCard.

I used to have a picture that I saved from an ebay auction, but I must have lost it over the years. Regardless, the HuCard (both back and front) had the same layout as the one you have.

Also, in case you missed it, bt garner mentioned (at pcenginefx.com) that he owns a *third* 4-in-1 HuCard that (most likely) was made by the same pirates. Plus, he has 3 "standard" pirate HuCards:

I have the following "pirated" PCE HuCards:

Formation Soccer Human Cup '90 (HuGO Soft 251-103)
Mahjong Gakuen Touma Shiro Tojo (HuGO Soft 251-125)
Splatterhouse (King TL89003)
4-in-1 (#3) (King TL89003)

the #3 4-in-1 contains Bomberman, R-Type II, Alien Crush and Kaizou Ningen Shubibinman

The last 2 have the same catalog number since "King" just used the same case but replaced the manual. ..they both just simply say "PC-E GAME" on the spine).

-bt

I'm sure bt garner would be more than happy to supply you with scans / photos of these pirated HuCard -- just provide him with a link to your site so he knows that his labor will be worth it

.

Feel free to say that I suggested you ask him for scans -- this can serve as the ice-breaker, deflecting attention away from you and making your request sound less imposing

Thanks for you precious help stevek666

I saw the thread on pcenginefx.com and was planning to contact bt garner in the future to see if he would be interested to send me some scans. But I have been working on other kind of updates for my site, this is why I haven't done it yet.
I contacted the buyer of the thick 2-in-1 HuCard and he is interested to share scans and information with us. This is great news !
I also saw the 4-in-1 pirate HuCard you mentionned. This is such a shame, there've been a couple of very interesting pirates up for sale on Ebay recently, but the seller is in Hong Kong and he doesn't want to ship worldwide... he even had one with Rtype/Legendary Axe/Formation Soccer/Override on it. Very unusual...

Thanks again !!!!!

No problem

Wow, an R-Type/Legendary Axe/Formation Soccer/Override 4-in-1 ???? That is truly a wonderful combination... and I'm surprised that Override is on there, since I am not certain if that was a particularly popular game in Japan. I love Override, though
