Multicart - Unlicensed Multicarts

Unlicensed Multicarts

These multicarts were published with the consent of the owners of copyright in the games themselves, but without the console maker's consent:

  • Action 52, from Active Enterprises. This ambitious project attempted to put 52 unique games into a single cartridge, but shoddy programming and heavy code reuse between games - combined with a hefty $200 (USD) retail price - resulted in this game often being considered one of the worst multicarts.
  • Caltron 6-in-1 - Rare vintage NES multicart, later re-released as the Myriad 6 in 1
  • Maxivision 15-in-1, which contained fifteen games from unlicensed NES manufacturers such as Color Dreams and American Video Entertainment.
  • Sunday Funday, from religious game developer Wisdom Tree. The last NES game released commercially in the United States for several years, this three-in-one cartridge featured the title game (a graphics hack of Color Dreams's old Menace Beach), Fish Fall (a previously-unreleased Tetris-style puzzle game), and a karaoke program featuring a Christian pop song, "The Ride," by 4Him.
  • Bible Adventures - NES
  • King of Kings: The Early Years - NES
  • The North American versions of the Quattro series by Codemasters, published by Camerica
