On this edition of Famicom Pirate Monday, I have a game that I have been actively seeking ever since I discovered it existed over a year and a half ago. I picked this up on Ebay of all places for MUCH less than I would’ve paid for it. This game, titled simply “Final Fantasy IV”, [...]

Today I am covering a really cool pirate called Dragon Quest 7. This little dandy was created by the legendary Waixing Science and Technology, whom created (amongst many others) the infamous Final Fantasy 7 pirate. This effort, however, is somewhat less epic. In fact, it’s pretty underwhelming. Now I haven’t played the entire game (as [...]

What do we have here? Could this be a pirated version of the greatest Super Nintendo RPG ever made? Why yes, I think it is. That cart is shaped kind of funny… almost as if it’s a Famicom cartridge. That would be impossible, right? Wrong. Those lunatics over at Shenzhen Nanjing Technology Co. Ltd. have struck [...]

Super Mario Bros. 2 was the black sheep of the original NES Mario trilogy. The gameplay, style, look, and mechanics varied vastly from the original game, and for a perfectly sensible reason. The game we played as Super Mario Bros. 2 was originally developed and released as Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic. The game was originally [...]

Yes, yes. I know that it is Wednesday. I started taking some night classes this week (Statistics for Economics- arrggghh) so I am a bit late. It won’t happen again I swear! To make up for it, on this edition of Famicom Pirate Monday I am showcasing one of my raddest Famicom pirates; a complete [...]

This week I will be looking at something that is pretty common in the world of Famicom pirates, which is the licensed game knock-off. What I have here is a cheap looking plastic cart with a low quality label announcing ROBOCOP, but mysteriously void of any copyright information and logos. It’s pretty easy to determine [...]

This week I am taking a look at a little pirate I bought about a year and half ago. One unique thing about this cart, that sets it apart from most of my other Famicom pirates, is the fact that this cart was new when I bought it. The label gives the name Super Game [...]

The start of a new feature here at Video Games Are Rad, each Monday I will feature a different Famicom pirate cart. Today, on the debut of this new feature, I am taking a look at a really cool pirate of a really terrible game. The label on the top of the cart gives the [...]
