I worked on that version of Pokemon Yellow, didn't make it, but I did all the music and translated it from chinese along with a few other tweeks to things like level progression and color palettes. It really is an impressive game. Even has more content than the original, like post game content that lets you get the legendaries from the second and third gen games. It's crazy impressive. Been meaning to go back to it and redo all the overworld graphics to look better and have nicer colors. Fun fact, the company that made Final Fantasy VII on the NES, Shenzhen Nanjing, made Pokemon Yellow as well. They run on the same engine. Something that made hacking this game very easy since I am already familiar with how the game works.

[@kamonfox1707]

Forgot to say, Lugia2009 on the title screen of both Pokemon Yellow and Final Fantasy VII, that's me.

[@jsteezus]

Imagine if Pokémon actually released on the NES back in the day. It’s such a big game compared to so many NES games that you can beat in an hour that it would of been a really great value. Would of been interesting.

[@Adam20622]

@@davidsomoza Nintendo would’ve definitely come up with some ridiculous contraption that you would put 2 cartridges into the same console to do trades and battle with friends had they actually released it on a home console back then.

Bootleg feels like such a broad term that people unjustifiably use on many games that don't deserve the label.

[@rockfan243]

I think part of the reasons why Pokemon never had a main line game on a Home console until the switch was probably because Pokemon lends itself to the portable nature of the Game Boy DS and switch so having it on a console that you can bring anywhere and pick up and play at any time and make a little progress and then put it down whenever you want is a huge part of Pokemon's appeal not many people probably would have liked Pokemon as much if you couldn't play it wherever and whenever you want because when it came out TV and console time was heavily monitored and restricted by parents.

[@FDestroy3r]

In french speaking part of Europe, the Dragon Ball game did also came out, but Goku actually looks like Goku. The game was also censored but the sprite that you shown here has nothing to do with the original Goku Sprite. My guess is, USA discovered Dragon ball reeeaaallyy late, like in early 2000, as us in Europe, grew up with Dragon Ball in the 80s even before DBZ was even a thing. So I assume they totally re skinned the game because Dragon Ball didn't existed at all in the USA at that time..

I remember these way back in the day, Pokemon Yellow and Gold on NES and I was like what the heck?

As someone who played the original Pokemon Yellow many times, I'd say that's a well-made fan port. The sprites of the pokemon are from Gold and Silver, the main character's movement is reminiscent of FireRed/LeafGreen, and it kind of surprises me that, given how it was even modded to account for a larger screen size, they somehow couldn't get the jumping animation in there. Or maybe they thought that would be just enough for Nintendo to take them to court, who knows.

Super Maruo (スーパーマルオ) is an unlicensed game released in Japan in 1986. It is the first documented unlicensed Family Computer title and the first adult-oriented game for the NES. Despite the name, aside from the player's sprite being an edit of Mario, has no relation with Nintendo's Mario video game series whatsoever. The gameplay is very simple. You're a man and you have to go after the woman running around on the screen. At the same time, you have to avoid the dog that is chasing you around. After grabbing the woman, you are awarded a scene of her stripping or posing.
