All About 31 in 1

[@landrykkb]

I remember all the hype here in Canada during the Christmas season of 1989 about this 31 in 1 cartridge.I had borrowed it a few times from various friends and it was actually unheard of for that time to have that many games all on one cartridge,so the concept actually was a novelty for us kids.

[@CuppaKofe]

These were really common in Atlantic Canada, I remember places like Midnight Video and corner stores having this up till the mid 90's. Seems like a lot of my friends had this one growing up.

[@AlexanderTF]

I had a Sega cartridge with 200 games in one ... Battle city... I remember playing that for hours though after a while I lost the copy ...

[@mediaglitch]

Now I got to go look for one of those!

[@NikhchansGaming]

Haha! Good Ole days! I am from India and we only got FAMICOM clones here! So I grew up playing all those Japanese games. And it was common to have multiple games on a cart. Like 64 in 1, 76 in 1, 240 in 1, 36 in 1 and not to forget the Legendary 9999999 in 1!

[@ImperatorGrausam]

+nhs2008NC I'm from Dubai, and we have famiclones here (I think I've seen a few, but they're not too common.) Most of them are original games from Japan. I wonder how Akumajou Densetsu (Castlevania III internationally) will sound on a famiclone.

[@ps-lover8380]

I am also Indian I grew up with the same clones and multi cards that time I don't know they are pirated things , but now I am feeling sad why we got clone systems instead of original and I never played SNES and genesis I am feeling so sad bro why it happened like this

[@AhmetwithaT]

I probably had this or a similar cart when I was a child since I've remembered all these games. In fact most of my NES cartridges were multi-carts since NES was never sold in my country the only way to play was those carts.

[@ps-lover8380]

Same here

[@mrbigmouth502]

I remember downloading a rom of a similar cartridge a long time ago, only the one I had was a 72-in-1 and it had a really nice menu system that was divided into pages. Along with the typical early NES games it also had some really cool Famicom exclusive stuff. Even though it may seem kind of pointess to use an emulator for a multicart since you can easily get the games individually, I did discover some pretty neat stuff I would've overlooked otherwise.

[@drgroove101]

love your videos! You can tell you really research your vids well and put a ton of effort into them, this stuff is tv worthy! keep it up, im subscribed

[@Rudevald]

Fun Fact. In East Europe there was no nintendo of famicon. We got "Pegasus" wich was pirated version of Famicon. It was issued with 999 in 1 cardridge wich cointained all classsic nes games + those presented here. Some with changed names for example "Galaga" was "Galaxian" and battle city was simply called "Tanks"

[@AndyHoward]

I remember Karateka for the Apple IIe back in the 80s. In the Normal stance you can also bow to your opponent (by pressing "b") but make sure to resume the fight stance or you'll be one-shotted.

[@diegomedina9637]

im actually never knew about the fuzzy snow monsters in ice climbers until melee in 2001 because when i was a kid i played that game on one of those pirated game

[@mikenguyen8483]

The creators of 31 in 1 use merry instead of mario because they do not want to be sued by Nintendo.

[@6magallanes66]

My childhood was marked with my 52 and 20 in one cartridge, they had the original titles of the games, by the way I didn't know that in Ice climber the seals where changed...The wiorld where I grow up, it doesn't exist anymore

[@Rudevald]

Its from east europe. Back in days those were cheap (Abaut 2 dollars) and you could get it anywhere. Now you would require to digging buth still propably can get em cheap so no its not rare.

[@SupremeMasterr]

those pirated games are my childhood nightmares.. at least the source of it

[@BoogiepopJin]

I loved the little animation at the end of the video. So funny!

[@WaffleCat3367]

my teacher has an arcade machine with tons of games on it. so basicly i was playing 31 in 1 in class

[@theoriginalKland]

I've got a supervision 52 in 1. Awesome multicart.

[@D3stinySm4sher]

Great job, guys! I'm really glad your work is getting featured on our site. :) You definitely make these cute but informative -- they come across as well-informed and are educational, but not too stiff as to be boring. At the same time, you don't run in the opposite direction and slather it with snark and wit, which can drown out the educational aspect of it. Very interesting stuff, too, I had no idea about this stuff... Monkey Island music at the beginning was a great touch.

[@glitchedoom]

The Monster Party theme at the end brought a smile to my face. I love that game

[@kourii]

Galaga and Galaxian are two different games. Or did it have two games called 'Galaxian', one of which was actually Galaga?

[@dzvxo]

Now put that in a game genie.

[@SolidusGabriel]

I finally discovered where that dancing ninja gif image is from!!! Thanks rinrygamegame!!! By the way, great video! You have just won a new fan. XD

[@lukejamesbgn]

I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH IT MAKES MY HEART SMILE!

[@KevinStriker]

This game isn't only available as a Famicom cart with an adapter. I happen to own a of 31 in 1 as a 5 screw North American NES game with a converter inside like Gyromite or Baseball. It's much easier to get out of my NES. :P

[@Ryan-vc4lr]

Played this at my uncles house as a kid when we'd go to visit them and it was the greatest thing in world to me at the time.

[@McSquiddington]

Man, that cartridge... I remember most of the titles on it, and Battle Tank happened to be one of my favourites.

[@HolyScarab6]

You're pretty, you've a nice voice and described perfectly what we felt playing those pirated games 22 years ago...thanks for making me revive my childhood.

[@24hourcoffee]

Haha I loved the use of Monkey Island music. Another great episode!

[@SupremeMasterr]

i have to cry because they fooled me when i am 5 years old.. at least i played sunsofts batman

[@xXbelmontXx]

I remembered all about this game as soon as i heard the menu song. I played this alot when i was younger. I've been looking for this game for a while and i finally found it last saturday. Tho mine isnt a famicom format cartridge. Its a regular NES format.

[@facerip356]

Really cool video. Here in Hungary, there was a time when these pirated famicom cartridges and systems were everywhere here, so I more or less know these guys. I love your videos, keep them coming! Oh, by the way, your voice is the cutest ever :)

God damn it 99999999999 in 1?

[@cyanmonky]

There not actually 99999999999 games, they probably are just 7-20 games repeated over and over and over again maybe with slight color palette variations.

[@jemmanuel7914]

Sam Lee I give up

[@EvilTB]

The 31 in 1 was common was very common in Nova Scotia for some reason. I remember getting a copy in Halifax, nobody I know in Calgary even heard of it.

[@sonhighguy]

i owned this thing as a kid...fuck this takes me back

[@OhJustCallMeLuke]

I grew up with those games... Arabian, Yie Ar KF, Formation Z, Ice Climber... Ah, memories.

[@loperaja]

In fact you were able to get tons of those pirate famicom carts in latin america and some eastern europe countries back in the day. The best ones were the ones with 4 or 5 games because of the quality of each one (generally first class nes games such as TMNT, Double Dragon, Ninja Gaiden...)

[@AnonomousBob]

I swear there was a version of Mario on this cart that we used to call "Super Illusiono Bros." cause it always glitched weird and made pit fill in but not really and randomly had pipes disappear.

[@landongendur]

This was a really awesome review! I loved the tid-bit about the seals... I had no idea that they were actually fuzzy monsters for the official version! It sounds like these carts were popular in the Canadian maritimes which is kind of cool because my copy found its way here in Saskatchewan :)

[@citroenboter]

I just came when I heard that Monkey Island tune. Not my favourite version, but still. It's damn catchy.

[@sarahh2072]

My favorites were the tank game (can't believe that wasn't released as it's own game, it's SO GOOD) and the circus game. There were no games where you could ride on an animal on the nes, so that was a really new thing back then. I had no idea there was an ice climber without the silly seals, they didn't die they just waddled home 😂 Love love love this game sm

[@ladondorfc.a.5997]

When I saw the tiny karate guy on the bottom right corner at the end of the video dancing I laughed SO HARD! 6:15

[@-DeScruff]

When I was a kid I had a 56 in 1 Gameboy game. It was awesome! There were 5 homebrew games on it that were actually pretty good, and a lot of other games I (or anyone else I know) ever heard of that I actually found good! (Dragon Slayer 1 was my favorite)

[@thepeternetwork]

Where can I download the "Pac-Man Beat" by Jot? I've googled every possible way I could think of, and still got nothing. :(

[@Kenjifoxhog5437]

31 in 1 famiclone cartridge is one of a Vietnamese pirated 8-bit game in the world

[@ThereminHero]

fantastic. interesting and informative. I had a pirated gameboy 30-in-1 and it had ports of some of these japan-only games. It kept me entertained for years. :)

[@japon68]

You can play Famicon games on it because the 31 in 1 is a famicon cart so there's no problem

[@DGrayMan180994]

Battle city is my most favourite game in the 90's

[@RequiredFields]

I knew a few people who owned the 31 in 1 when I was a kid.

I used to play this cartridge a lot when I were a children

[@TheThomQ]

The Secret of Monkey Island theme is always +1!

[@LuwiigiMaster]

Sky Destroyer? Man, I loved that game's main theme. And Exerion was a pretty interesting game, IMO.

[@SilverSlugs]

The local Papa Gino's Pizzaria i went to in the late 80's as a kid had the arcade cabinet of Yie Ar Kung-Fu......favorite arcade game.

[@scythedd7]

Might again i say, cutest voice ever. I had one exactly like this from hong kong. Was a super 102 in 1. Was made by some company named HoneyBee. I remember wondering what half of these games were.

[@danielyt5144]
