Description
A North American unlicensed released by Caltron that contains these games:
Bookyman - A Make Trax clone by Hwang Shinwei. Hwang Shinwei had illegally ported the graphics from the original game. Caltron replaced them with original art.
Adam and Eve - Balloon Fight clone - Which is a Joust clone.
Cosmos Cop - Space Harrier clone
Magic Carpet 1001 - A side-scrolling shoot-em-up
Balloon Monster - A Buster Bros clone
Porter - A Sokoban clone
Most of these games had been previously published in other markets by Caltron under different company names (NTDEC/MegaSoft) and game names.
A mere 888 copies of the game may have existed.
Shortly before declaring bankruptcy, Taiwan-based Caltron sold all remaining cartridges to Texas-based Myriad Games, Inc.
Myriad slapped their logos on the carts and boxes and resold them with the Caltron title screens intact. Neither Caltron nor Myriad were officially licensed by Nintendo. Myriad 6 in 1 may be rarer then any other published North American NES game.
