"Pусская версия" part 12 - Wing up your duck and chess asses

Part twelve, ass winged up, chess won the other way around.

One duck, one fuck, one Russian, one version. That's what's the topic about today's review, focusing on Darkwing Duck, yet another Russian step to the road to their "heaven" - piracy.

Darkwing Duck - the latest in the fuck.

To start, the game is nothing but bullshit. Again a hack, one level = good. What? Eh, not. Unlike others, this now has five stages, but for unknown reason (maybe due to length!), the stage 5 is divided into 2 parts: stage 5.0 and stage 5.5. ROFL! This is also made by the known Russian studio, due to the bad controls

Screenshot from the main menu of Darkwing Duck.

Now the other way around, our new neighbors.

You know chess? Well, yeah. A Russian studio has made the game up, simulating a true Chess game - but music is the problem. To promote Russia, the music used is predominantly Russian folk music. How can tradition be digital, huh? Only two songs are used. But the gameplay is predominantly pure as a medium difficulty Chess game. Win for the black - the black is the blog! 

Screenshot from the start screen of the Chess game.

Unlike others, this is the earliest Russian pirate - released in the '90s, unreleased and unlicensed, but the ROM is the only way of playing it ever. The two looping tracks ain't no loop good, and the studios are known, white and gray - BS Comp and PADIS, battling for the better studio, BS Comp thinks it's better, PADIS thinks it's not.

"CHIИA" part 1: Introduction, announcement of 2nd segment

Segment two. Welcome to the 2nd knee of the series of bootleg games I'm writing since July 2014. Now, the target is China, the home to many of pirates.

Yeah. I ran out of several Russian games, but if I find out more, I will be able to write more and more! :D Also continue the 1st segment

More posts coming June.

"Русская версия" part 11 - Fan-pirate

As we ship onto part eleven, I just got time to review onto a bootleg release of a popular hack of Sonic for both Genesis and Sega CD.

Screenshot from the menu of Sonic Megamix.

Sonic the Hedgehog Megamix, or more common, Sonic Megamix, was ported by pirates being the only Sonic hack ever released on the cartridge (Genesis and shit called "Mega Drive Portable"). Despite the game not being Russian, the game was also sold in the Russian market. As, for example, the game was ported possibly in 2010s, because Russians are always meant for pirates, or, they want to make money by doing that. Here's a non-roughly translated, first segment from the back of its cover:

SONIC MEGAMIX - is the remake of the first, good Sonic. In the game, not only Sonic participates, but the black hedgehog Shadow and the armadillo Mighty...

 The cover art. Notice the "made in Russia" (Сделано в России) on bottom left.

Yeah, "made in Russia". Obviously refers to the cover art, but NOT the game itself. Also notice the FPS on bottom left of each magazine "picture". It is however, as I could say, made from Kega Fusion, one of popular Genesis emulators alongside Gens.

Look the right of the cover art. The game uses the modern Sonic art, but the game itself the classic one. As Shadow is modern-born, it looks somewhat like classic one in-game. Mighty is classic-born but looks modern on cover-art. So it could have been made after 2010, but not the hack. Its stable version 3.0 (last one for Genesis) was made way back in 2007.

As the story almost "forever" continues, this segment hasn't already finished yet...but better know that you should be away from pirates as this is COUNTERFEIT!!!!

"Русская версия" part 10 - The manga and movie targets

Welcome to part ten.

And of course, the Russian developers ignore stopping making pirate games. Due to it, they made a popular Japanese manga being targeted by themselves! I'm not joking. Now we're able to start it all.

 

Screenshot of Naruto, the game made and named after the popular Japanese manga.

Yes, this shit of course. What has caused Russians to strike back, those assholes and motherfuckers? Just for fucks, Russian pirates' title screen are just:

1. Picture of a movie
2. Logo on top of the screen

or just the logo of the game! No "НАЖМИ(ТЕ) СТАРТ" on some. This sucks ass. It's just meaning to do nothing but to press start. Those hackers in Russia....make counterfeit shit that wants to overload all around the Russian market, or just assy shit called "cheap-for-game" service which does nothing but you pay only a little money! YOU KNOW?!? THESE SHITTY GAMES HAVE COSTED JUST ₽1 (if you don't see the Russian ruble sign, it's a sign that you haven't installed the Roundy font or you don't have a version of Unicode supporting this)!!!!!!! And yes, I agree with you about cheap costs. Cheap for game. That's their fucking business.

 

Screenshot of Avatar, the hack named after the movie.

Notice a short glitch here. It's something below a star, I see, what the fuck? Russians decided to "localize" their cheap-for-game business as they always want this shit to occur for their business. Their profit is ₽0.9292920. Someone gives ₽1 to them (sixteen mills), and they spend tons of them just to their shitty "Munchies". They always want that because they will be hungry all day. Agree with this.

So don't forget about part ELEVEN, when we will review on more Russian shitty games made by their cheap for game business.

"Русская версия" part 9 - Horrific sprites and creepy start screens

Well just I decided to start the month of March the worst way = blogging about pirates. Yeah, pirates. Now as we jump on the ninth part I have to review on MORE and MORE pirates, aka the limit is endless, or simply ∞ pirates left to review on. Not really but let's go on reviewing pirate crap.

Remember that show on Nickelodeon that successfully hit the 2000s and is still airing? Well, Russian took their attempt on hijacking it again and again. A horrific sprite of SpongeBob has been hitting on this game as all Russian pirate game developers "hate" English and due to it they translate to Russian just to be sold in Russia. Heck yes, this is the reason why Russians make pirates in order to make them sold only in Russia.

Who the hell ordered them? Maybe their hacky ass brains? Or even lack of Genesis games to revive its life? WHAT? They do this just to revive Genesis' life.

You know that Sega Genesis is already dead, it died around 1996 or '97, but, about pirates, let's go on reviewing all these peed shitty pirates!

Screenshot of the main menu of a hack which has no logo on title screen but pretending to be called "SpongeBob".

Again, one level + title screen hack + sprite hack + font hack = is a typical Russian pirate game. WTF? The title screen is here logoless, you can't notice that you can see a very horrible sprite of SpongeBob as noticed here. Yes, it is so bad it can't be made on it. As a result, ignore bootlegs and buy a legitimate version of a game targeted by hacking which made this shit = Cool Spot.

 

Screenshot from "Mafia", a port of Mafia (2002) done by hacking a certain shooter very similar to this one.

Right now I see something...What the goddamn helly fuck? Mafia ported onto Genesis by Russians? Of course. Mafia was ported onto Genesis by hacking a first person shooter very similar to what could be a port of a popular game from 2002 released for Windows, the PlayStation 2 and the original Xbox, onto Sega Genesis despite already dead. And yes, this is true. 

Also there is a secret: opening the cartridge on a hex editor finally confirmed the year - it was possibly made in 2010 - or it could be a lie. As I saw on the wiki it said it is "possibly made in 2010", or it could however be a rumor - the hex editor might lie or be true. But it's never known! 

Russians like pirating and their game industry might be "Crapo Corp." as I say. Congratulations pirates! You are considered the worst and stupidest ports of games and remakes of shows! I say! Hahahahaha you suck pirates! Just joking, brothers. At least more pirates will come on but notice! They will kill your head and bloatware will shoot you. So don't forget to see more pirates I "caught" on the wiki, as all of them will be given an F rank. Russians, this is your last chance!

More pirates coming soon.

 

"Русская версия" part 8 - Racing and shit bootlegs

We have finally stomped onto part 8 - as the Russian bootleg game business continues to grow and on and on.

We do not have always to look on shooters, platformers and stuff, but at least I found one racing hack of Fun Car Rally for Genesis - the most popular platform for those shitholes from Russia having a company that makes bootleg games just to be sold in Russia. Heck no, that company remains unnamed and sucks.

 

Screenshot from the main menu of Gran Turismo 5, the hack of the very popular PlayStation 3 game.

Finally we have a racing game to review it. Everything same: hacks, title screens displays just logo, no menu, simply that it couldn't be implemented into a racing game, for doing stuff just like that. And yes, it goddamn sucks.

 

The cover, cartridge and manual.

WTF? You can see these things in Russian stores. These include: the cover (left), cartridge (middle, down) and manual (right). In fact, note the "6+" rating on bottom left of the screen, finally admitting its ass that it says "для детей старше 6 лет" which means "for kids 6 and up". See? This ain't able to enter the American market since there is no logo of the company. They better produce original assy games not copy this shit! Awww this sucks so bad!

Gameplay screenshot.

We see that it couldn't be able to fit into TV so look the text: it is so so so close to the overscan anybody couldn't view the leftmost letters when playing this game on a pure console. If this was played on an elevator it would be great but NEVER!

I say, avoid these shitty stuff as they could damage your brain! You couldn't choose options, because of language. So bye, Russian fuckers.

P.S. More and more reviews will be done soon.

"Русская версия" part 7 - WTF?

Well as I said on the previous post, I HAVE to continue the series as I found MORE and MORE pirates from Russia but...better not know, but now let's comment on them.

 

 Screenshot from Madagascar 3's main menu.

OK. Finally found a pirate. Now seeing, the English logo, the Russian menu, but....WTF? Notice the top. There are two Penguins of Madagascar characters, which is completely unrelated, hence "Madagascar". That good old movie, that franchise begun in 2005.

Screenshot of gameplay footage of the game. According to BootlegGames Wiki, this is the only level.

It is not bad yet, but Russian developers should make original games, but NOT to copy this crap. Well, just to notice you that it will receive 250/500, or simply 500/1000 or more simply - 50 percent.

Too bad this game has just a level. No further levels, just this level, and a title screen and a graphic hack. In fact, the original is A Dinosaur's Tale, which is simply a hack of the mentioned game, ADT. As a result this is shit.

"Русская версия" part 6 - Story continues

We're back to the beloved series because of a mystery that on BootlegGames Wiki, I saw AGAIN the known font for Russian. We'll have to comment on MORE Russian pirates, but one of them I found, maybe can be a faux port of the beloved Lego game.

Screenshot of the hack of an unknown known Genesis game. This hack is called Lego Batman. Also notice the translation of "Press Start". Looks like the pronoun "you" as 2nd face of multi is used instead of singular.

 

The drawing of the Batman logo is at least good, but, the arts! They look like the purple background is sky. It ain't. It is simply a crappy hack of a sky, no clouds, just 2 logos and something new - the "Press Start" text now "Нажмите старт". Oh my ----!

 

Plus the other thing about these pirates is that they are found in the fictional country named "Republic of Piracy", I guess, and it consists of China, Peru, parts of Russia.......oh my fucking holy shit! ._.

Now let's talk on Felix the Cat.

Remember the post when I commented last year? This was on July 2014. We were talking about 2 Mario pirates, Mario 4 and Mario 3, where as said, the same menu is used, but different logo and background! :D

This Felix the Cat hack is nothing but crappy port of the same-named licensed game for NES, which was rumored to be made by the same people who made Mario 4 and Mario 3. The plot is same as from NES' licensed version, aka I guess the official version. But no bosses, which is a bad thing! Only 12 levels and story done. Oh my god, may those pirates end their lives? We don't know. Possibly 2040...just joking. If developers continue doing that then the world is smashing like that.

 

Screenshot of the main menu of the Genesis port of Felix the Cat. Name is in English but the menu is in Russian. The game was originally for the NES. Also notice Russian here.

We got the main menu. Two options, much like Sonic 3 but option menu replaces the competition menu. Also, WTF? No copyright? I call this shit pirate and that is final.

If more Russian pirates arrive onto BootlegGames Wiki, I will have to review them in time.

"Русская версия" part 5 - AGAIN!?

We've once back with Russian ripoffs, actually I found 1 more Russian game!

Actually it's a Russian shitty pirate game called Ben 10 based on a popular TV series I loved (Slowly stopping to love), using the same engine as TMNT: Возвращение легенды, also known as slow gameplay, and 2 enemies maximum to appear on the screen. And, yeah, it sucks cock like no games has ever sucked ever before.

Due to a problem I'm unable to show the screenshot from the main menu.

 
Actually part 6 will focus on something else about pirates, so.

"Русская версия" part 4 - Back to 16-bit and Somari

If you haven't read Part 1, click here. For Part 2, click here. For Part 3, click here.

Actually, we have come to the end of this 4-part trilogy about Russian bootlegged video games. But don't worry! We'll still talk about my hate of bootleg games and my own reactions to them.

Now, we go back to 16-bit, and now with ANOTHER pirate, now it copied Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. We now have to comment on ONLY one TMNT game!

Screenshot from "TMNT-The legend returns"

Ah, yeah. Here we go again. That same Russian company, now does hacks again! First we saw a badass hack of some game (Cannot remember title!) and Despicable Me 2 (game, not movie) came from it at all, from Russian company's permission. But, this one has "Возвращение легенды", which means "The legend returns". Which legend returns? WHICH? Oh god...

This has the same menu as Mario 3 and Mario 4, and the infamous "Русская версия" wordmark on its box art, and is there called simply as TMNT.

 

And we got Super Mario World 64, another Mario ripoff for Sega Genesis. Again. Just, I see, it is not made in Russia, but, A COVER ART FROM 2013 HAVING THE INFAMOUS WORDMARK EXISTS! Uh, my tongue is starting to, just hurt, but, I will make a break for one screenshot.

 

Screenshot of Super Mario World 64's menu. It is not Russian, but it is however sold in the same country too.

 

 

Somari

Now let's go to 8-bit. We now have Somari. But, it's not that Russian clone but it is however sold in that country. It is 8-bit and was released for the NES, and ONLY in the regions where pirate cartridges were distributed and sold. However, misspells...continue to occur.

Screenshot from Somari's title screen

Someri Team. What kind of this industry is? Ah yes, I got that. It's what Hummer Team lies. Somari is Mario and Tails mixed - Mario wearing Tails' shoes. And I hate that stupid "Ge De Industry Company". "Ge De?" What the **** is that? Ah yeah, they are just some forms of Hummer Team's publishing games.

The end.

"Русская версия" part 3 - beyond 16-bit pirated games

NOTE: If you haven't read part 1, it is here. If you haven't read part 2, it is here.

Still ongoing, but let's talk about just beyond 16-bit games. On Kotaku.com I have just found pirates of Xbox 360 games, with the infamous wordmark "Русская версия" again, now in a different font, and now being placed on bottom right. Let's now look at what I screenshotted from Kotaku.com:

"Русская версия" wordmark on a pirated copy of an Xbox 360 game, claiming it's on DVD

Yeah. You can see the red circled "Русская версия" wordmark on a red band, on the bottom right corner of a pirated copy of Batman: Arkham City for the Xbox 360. Yeah, on Xbox 360. On the top right on any Xbox 360 game, you can see "DVD-ROM" logo on the top right of every Xbox 360 game (including this one), with those Russian bad-ass copycats claiming they're DVD games.

Ah, yes. Xbox 360 was released in 2005, months before the release of huge seventh gen platforms, the PS3 and the Wii.

Part 4 will be the end of this story, but tomorrow, we are continuing to talk about bootleg! In part 4, I'll go back to 16-bit and meet 8-bit.

"Русская версия" part 2

NOTE: If you haven't read part 1, read it here.

We're back on bootleg games truth, talking still about Russian bad-ass pirated games that you should throw them to trash. Now, we got to talk about other stuff, except for just pirated games from Mario series (Mario 3 and Mario 4) but we have to know the name of a Russian company who makes those games, but they do not promote names in their box arts.

Right now, the truth of what they do is currently unknown, but let's now comment on a pirate Despicable Me 2 game, in which there is no official releases for 8- and 16-bit platforms (those non-pirated). Now, we are talking about a hacked game (not as non-hacked original pirate things such as Mario 4 and Mario 3).

 Screenshot of "Гадкий Я 2", which is Russian meaning for "Despicable Me 2"

And yeah, I see that, I think it's a balance-in job of drawing things that I can imagine. The real reason they make is because they, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the franchise! However, I think the creator of this game is the same company that has made Mario 3 and 4. Yeah. I just think, but it can be for the thing that is just truth.

Bootleg video games from Russia and "Русская версия"

Oh well. Bootleg video games, all, bootleg. But I cannot believe, why one unknown, Russian company, makes a lot of bootlegs, like that crap "Mario 4" and "Mario 3", and its infamous wordmark in Russian, saying "Русская версия" (Russian for "Russian version"). And, yeah, bootlegs. They suck! Hopefully:

1. you buy one game, thinking it's original.
2. you come home, check the Internet,
3. and you find that the game you bought is a bootleg!

That is how unscrupulous video game companies like the franchises even, Mario, Sonic, TMNT, and other populars, are bootlegged! I saw on the Bootleg Games Wiki about bootlegged franchises, and who can know that badass Russian company's name that made Mario 4?

 Screenshot of "Mario 4" from Bootleg Games Wiki

And, yeah, Mario 4. It's all in Russian and Cyrillic, complete name in Russian: "Марио 4 - Космическая одиссея", which means "Mario 4 - Space Odyssey. And yeah, that was right.

 Screenshot from "Mario 3"

Now we faced Mario 4's successor, "Mario 3"! And yeah, the menu is similar to the Mario 4's, and full name of the game is: "Марио 3 - Вокруг света", meaning "Mario 3 - Around the World". Yeah. Those bootlegs, all from Russia, the Dendy, and everything, is now being placed away from my head.
