I know what you're thinking, why make a pirate cart of an already non-licenced game, right?

Well, this somehow found its way into a car boot sale for a modest amount of money, and I bought it for the luls, knowing how bad A52 was.

No matter how hard I search, I can't find anything about this version of A52 on the 'net. Anyone care to shed some light on it?

(The game itself is identical to the "official" A52 cart, save the design and box art. And cartridge shape.)

Just pirated it because Active wouldn't be able to stop them even if they tried. Not a rare game either, I've seen two copies of that pirate in person before. It's pretty nil on popularity too.

Thanks, just wondered about it.

Considering I only paid £2 for it, not much of a loss. Guess it's time to either keep it or shoot it. :P

Keep it at least for the awesome box art.

True - it's a bajillion times better than the original.
