The reason why hunting for games 'in the wild' is more fun when compared shopping on eBay, is because you never know what you're going to find. One of the things that I enjoy discovering is bootleg or hacked Gameboy titles as they come in all shapes and sizes. I mainly encounter dodgy Pokemon titles when I look around flea markets, but then there's the strange specimen in the photo above.
Super 150 in 1 is just a bunch of popular Gameboy titles crammed onto one cart; it features Super Mario Land, Pac Man, Alleyway, Lock and Chase, and many more. It doesn't actually contain 150 games however, as the programmer has cheekily added the previous titles at different points in the game; for instance if you wanted to start Super Mario Land on the final stage the option is there. What makes this special though is the extraordinary design of this game.
When plugged into a Gameboy it sticks out like a sore thumb, as it's two Gameboy carts stuck together, but the designer was thoughtful enough to include a reset button at the top so you can switch games more easily.
This is by far the strangest item in my collection, let me know yours in the comments and I'll be back tomorrow with more Happy Gaming Days.
