Over the years I've seen people around the internet say they played Hummer Team's Aladdin and never knew it was unlicensed until years later. It really was a solid bootleg.
Wait but isn't there an NES version in the modern classic collection with all versions of Aladdin, lion king, and jungle book Edit: I got later in and learned it was europe only
I'm really grateful for bootleggers. I grew up in eastern Europe and having a real NES in the post Iron Curtain era was extremely unfeasible. However, due to Chinese bootleggers, I got to grow up with NES games. I had a Terminator 2 lmao seriously look it up it's a real console
I'm from Eastern Europe, and what you said is so true, I had a dadny brand nes, I had alladin, street fighter, mortal kombat, the best part was having multigame cartridges with 200 games and non repeating.
I've been in the bootleg community for several years now, it it's great to see this information getting out there. So many people write off bootlegs as 'hurr durr made in china crap' while not appreciating the effort that goes into some of them, and the cultural significance thay hold for people in developing nations, and there is so much missinformation online. I hope this and St1ka's recent videos help change the rhetoric on bootleg gaming online. One interesting game you missed is Tiny Toon Adventures 6, a very faithful port of Bab's Big Break on GB. It does loose some stuff (notably the traps in some of the levels) but it's otherwise really solid and the colour upgrade is nice even if the music is just stolen from the offical NES game, and the colour palette in the 'spooky woods' it decidedly unspooky
Also the games are so much better on CRT TV'S and Real Hardware because the Visuals look a bit better and the Music sounds actually not bad rather than how they play on Emulators it could be just be how CRT Sound Signals work or something I don't really know.
Hummer team was truly special in the realm of famicom bootlegs. It’s actually really cool to learn about the people behind the weird and mysterious bootlegs I played to death in the 00’s!
What immediately caught my eye about AV Bishoujo Senshi Girl Fighting is that it actually looks like it started as a direct port of Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S: Jougai Rantou!? Shuyaku Soudatsusen released for the Super Famicom on December 16th, 1994 that they got partway through and then decided to just wrap up with additional resources they had on hand plus some porn.
I remember they added zangief, but his sprites were totally corrupt and only he appears as squares, literally.. however he was running well and I could beat him, and another one I can't remember his name at all but I remember he was literally hover, he was flying in his place and never put his legs on the floor, but he was difficult to beat.. same as zangief, his sprites were fucked up as well
I only ever played one bootleg game I think, my cousin said to me it was some sort of Pokemon Black game. I remember only that there was like a Tornado that you could capture, and I think I beat maybe one of the first bosses, which may also have been a tornado or a giant rat. It was weird, only played it for a few hours.
These unlicensed games always fascinated me, even as a kid. They mostly look pretty good, with some exceptions, but what makes them actually bad is the programming and, thus, the gameplay. The main strategy in the 90's was to make screenshots on game box and magazines look appealing, it was true even for official games, and bootleggers also knew it would work. One that was quite popular here in Brazil was Sonic 4 for the SNES, I didn't know it was a Speedy Gonzales hack, but we always found it entertaining enough, specially since SEGA and Nintendo were nemesis and we knew that.
It kind of reminds me of the Donkey Kong Land games on the original Game Boy, though there was also a DKC port on the Game Boy Color I wonder if someone could try to downport the original DKC to the NES in a more playable state
@@pablocasas5906 , it honestly wouldn't be too difficult, especially considering that the architecture of the NES/FDS was, in a lot of ways, similar to that of the Game Boy/Game Boy Color.
19:39 That's literally the match-ending screens in Jingi Storm: The Arcade. The loser of the match will cause his spectating partner to get sexually assaulted in some way. If a boss character loses a match, then it would look like as if she was about to get sexually assaulted. Very disturbing, but I am glad these defeat screens were toned down for the final release of the game.
A fun fact about that bootleg Tekken 2 game: Thanks to various leaks from Nintendo, we know that this game was included as part of the emulation for Doubutsu no Mori (The OG release of Animal Crossing). While Tekken 2 didn’t make it to the final (obviously), text referencing the bootleg rom can be found within the game’s leaked development files.
Interesting video. I used to see these games all over Chinatown in NYC in the early 90s. It was like playing games in bizzarro world and I bought a couple of them. Then sometime around the mid 90s, Nintendo funded a massive fed raid of all those bootlegger shops and the party was over. lol
We still have them sold in Europe. My friend bought a bootleg NES with a bunch of multi-carts in 2010s (well, often just green PCBs, most games I played were stripped off their plastic long ago). I still have it somewhere.
I owned a Famiclone from the Terminator series. I had MK2 and 3 and Alladin for it, plus a loooot of other bootlegs., including about three versions of Street Fighter 2, and none of them was the one present here. Sadly, I wanted KoF, but could never find a "legit" one, they were always either Final Fight of Street Fighter copies.
It was so good to watch this video about some bootleg NES games. I liked to play Somari, Aladdin and Super Contra 7 in my childhood on a Famiclone. 🙂 But while watching video footage about Titenic, I discovered a strange similarity to the game "Harry's Legend", which I got in the form of a yellow gamecartridge from a street vendor. That game was something even watching the playthrough video as adult.
The people you mention who think less of bootlegs because they are unlicensed have a very shallow mind. If it wasn't for bootleg games, more than half of today's gamers would have never been gamers in the first place. My happiest childhood memories involved a bootleg NES with pre-installed Super Mario bros and hours upon hours of my cousins and me fighting for the controller. So many times we went to the arcades to play by coin, and then my dad installed Mame32 on his PC. Bootlegs and Emulation, and today gaming is still my passion.
This is a little old, but I have to say. Bootlegs absolutely have their place in the history books of gaming, the NES alone is a testament to that. The console was discontinued globally in 1995, and then fully in 2003, but we still got games for it for 2 years after that because of them. And that extension of the consoles lifespan, is responsible for introducing many new people to the gaming scene, who otherwise may not have been able to afford it.
wild story, a Bootleg Company that tried to hold themselves to a certain level of Quality?? i didnt think that this were true. i have to ask, is it easy to find ROMs of Hummer Team's games??
Early part of the video is a great explanation why people outside of USA and Japan don't have the same nostalgia the rest of the world does: we basically had no Nintendo. Period. Some of the more complex games like Zelda, Metroid and later Mario games weren't as big as endless Contra hacks and ports from Mega Drive and Super Famicom to Famiclones. Hummer's Aladdin was probably my most played game as a kid. I remember drawing level passwords in a notebook (yes, had to draw them since they were picture based). But we also had tons of proper Famicom games on multicarts, some untranslated too! And since SNES clones weren't a big thing and Nintendo 64 was unpopular outside of USA, it means Mario and Zelda are series we learn about from UA-cam.
I often wondered what the story was behind some of these amazing bootlegs. Amazing deep dive here. Absolutely fascinating story worthy of knowing- thanks for sharing!!
AWESOME video I just saw it on reddit, I posted a review for DKC4 NES last week on my channel with the game running on real hardware and one thing I notice between real hardware and emulation is how much better the music sounds on actual hardware. I don't know if emulators can't do the music for these games or what, but the difference is huge. I am hopefully going to review more of these in the future, they were sold here in Macedonia so I have first hand experience with these games from back in the day. I'm always happy to see people covering these games, man, because they're such a surreal yet impressive part of gaming history.
I always respected the determination of Hummer to make fighting games on the NES as most people simply don't make the attempt when when faced with those hardware limitations. Pretty easy to mispronounce Chinese since it isn't atonal, I imagine it sounds like gibberish when most of us try heh.😉 8:38 The large character use is likely the result of trying to cram a less abridged language table into limited cartridge space, imagine building English characters from a small set of part tiles instead of one tile per character. Asian character tables are typically huge, using the biggest ROM chips historically for PC system tables. I've quite enjoyed the ROM mods people have made for Hummer games as they are able to pick up where they left off because of time and money constraints to make more refined polished versions. Probably the biggest knock against Famiclone fighters is special move input not working very well, if it weren't for Street Fighter Alpha on GBC figuring it out I'd have continued to think it wasn't possible on 8-bit platforms.
Super Smash Bros started out as a completle unrelated game and was planned with original characters. It's why Captain Falcon has Martial arts moves as he was an easy fit body wise over on of the early concepts.
The answer for this question actually brings out some complicated history. That girl is from AV Bishoujo senshi fighting - which uses 8-bit pixelated cg graphics originating from PC98 game Tensen Nyan Nyan. Her name is Saien, if I remember it right.
I've always been fascinated with bootlegs, especially when they have those bizarre game over screens. I think Super Mario World and Toy Story on NES are interesting Edit: Can't believe I forgot about Somari, classic
This was fantastic! Do you know anything about a buster Brothers NES bootleg game? I have it somewhere on one of these multi car roms. It's pretty good. I remember it glitched out and you couldn't move on or destroy one of the balloons somewhere in it or something like that not it could have been limitation of my emulator not sure
The Polymega is an emulation console with an Intel chip inside IT IS NOT AN NES ON A CHIP! The attachment for the polymega just lets you plug a game in to dump the rom. You need to put a correction on this!
I remember trying these games back in the early days of NES emulation. I thought they were fan games, and never realized they were all related, let alone developed by the same bootleggers. I recall the music being terrible and Tekken not working at all under emulation.

Pretty much all of the girls' CG come from AV bishoujo fighting are pixelated, recolored versions of ones belong in an obscure PC98 title, Tensen Nyan Nyan. It's a Mahjong game. The girl in the thumbnail, her name is Saien if I recall correctly.
Yeah the "SNES-on a chip" didn't come as quickly so it never reached Famiclone levels of bootlegging. Mattel's Hyperscan in 2006 uses such a chip, a Sunplus SPG290 which can hardware clone a SNES more or less.
There’s only a few bootleg companies that make quality games. Hummer team is number 1. None of their titles are garbage, and if you get used to the lacking controls and music you can find a couple good games in there. Also where’s earthworm Jim 3?
The word "port" seems to be used a bit freely here. None of theese games are ports. To port a game (or any software) you need the original source code and make modifications to suit the target system. I don't think hummer team got the source code for these SNES/SFC titles to begin with. And to port these even with the source code would not make much sense anyway. Sure, they probably stole some assets they scaled down and changes color palette to, but no ports here....
I argue that New Super Mario Brothers is the REAL Super Mario Brothers 2, and not that glorified expansion pack to Super Mario Brothers, or the Dream Factory: Heart Thumping Panic reskin.
"Clickbait" refers to a thumbnail that isn't related to the content in the video though.. that thumbnail is very much NOT clickbait when the subject is Hummer Team, lol. I feel like the term has become too open ended. Showing the most interesting parts of your video as the thumbnail never used to be called "clickbait" since it's not dishonest
i know these games you mentioned WERE on snes but some of these guys bootlegged originated in the arcades. you saying Street fighter and Mortal kombat as SNES Titles is throwing me off man, LOL
It has always blown my mind that anyone considers these types of bootlegs worthwhile. Have played them in various forms over the years, and they all suck pretty bad.
@DoomKid man I'd have found something else to do or got a job. There weren't great for anybody. I had a few Tiger electronic handhelds, and I played them and enjoyed them. But they weren't great at all, in any way.
wow the video feels like it takes over 2 hours to reach the point, you pacing is so tiresome and your voice puts me to sleep... you sound bored by your own words...
A mention of Nice Games for famiclones is worthy. They actually purchased licenses for Atari VCS games and ported them to famiclones. Both systems are 6502. This is why some famiclone titles appear to be bootlegs of Atari titles. Remenber little witch? Yeah, that's defender.
Over the years I've seen people around the internet say they played Hummer Team's Aladdin and never knew it was unlicensed until years later. It really was a solid bootleg.
Yup it's one of my childhood favorites on my old famiclone and it was so smooth and controls like the real one. 😌👍
Wait but isn't there an NES version in the modern classic collection with all versions of Aladdin, lion king, and jungle book

The fact that they were able to get an enhanced version of Street Fighter 2 to even run on a nes is quite a achievement bootleg or not.

I got myself a RG40xxV, only paid 71$, and i like it more than my 900$ phone. 😅
oh man I remember playing the shti out of aladdin on a baby blue cartridge on a nintendo clone called terminator 2 lol good ol days
I like the NES version of the SNES Super Mario World
I argue that SMB 2 USA is official bootleg of a certain legit game.
I argue that New Super Mario Brothers is the REAL Super Mario Brothers 2, and not that glorified expansion pack to Super Mario Brothers, or the Dream Factory: Heart Thumping Panic reskin.
That's a reskin rather than a bootleg - it MUST be unauthorised to count as a bootleg 😊
extremely clickbait-y thumbnail lol
men must see using their eyes not their dicks
yeah it do be like that. But you gotta make that bread somehow
"Clickbait" refers to a thumbnail that isn't related to the content in the video though.. that thumbnail is very much NOT clickbait when the subject is Hummer Team, lol.
I feel like the term has become too open ended. Showing the most interesting parts of your video as the thumbnail never used to be called "clickbait" since it's not dishonest
i know these games you mentioned WERE on snes but some of these guys bootlegged originated in the arcades. you saying Street fighter and Mortal kombat as SNES Titles is throwing me off man, LOL
Of course that’s the most watched part…
Hummer team is the G, making snes games for nes players lol
Sometimes,break the rules is necessary and moral!
You got me..
Oh go on then take a sub
Titanec ?!!? Lol
Bro im not so suprisingly drunk, plz stop saying shockingly!
Just a suggestion, but maybe use a less misleading thumbnail next time? It's makes it seem kinda clickbaity.
So you actually defend bootlegs, even though they're all mocked and ridiculed on the internet?
Going against the grain - and for good reason, bootleggers got Street Fighter to the 3rd world, that deserves credit.
It has always blown my mind that anyone considers these types of bootlegs worthwhile. Have played them in various forms over the years, and they all suck pretty bad.
They were great for people who only had NES clones!
@DoomKid man I'd have found something else to do or got a job. There weren't great for anybody. I had a few Tiger electronic handhelds, and I played them and enjoyed them. But they weren't great at all, in any way.
@@leadbonesthey suck yet you continued to play them over the years? 🤦♂️
@@TheOneAndOniGab if I didn't play all the games I could, how would I know which ones suck the most?
yeah, figure out how to do better screen capture if you want to show me game footage for 37 minutes and expect me to watch it
wow the video feels like it takes over 2 hours to reach the point, you pacing is so tiresome and your voice puts me to sleep... you sound bored by your own words...
A mention of Nice Games for famiclones is worthy. They actually purchased licenses for Atari VCS games and ported them to famiclones. Both systems are 6502. This is why some famiclone titles appear to be bootlegs of Atari titles. Remenber little witch? Yeah, that's defender.
Your chapter marks are kind of bootleg too. way off.
