Comments: Yes, this isn't a mistake. There really is a Romox cartridge burned with a game from Commodore themselves. Makes you wonder whether it's actually legal or not. Only one way to find out, and currently that is being investigated. The ROM dumps are identical for sure though. Oh and yes, whoever labelled this cart obviously forget which company originally released the game!

Comments: A music creation tool with the emphasis more on allowing the user to control the direction and sound rather than actually composing. Consider it an early version of a DJ tool. I believe this was released in the UK by Artic at some point.

Comments: A rather simple driving game that did get published in other forms later on, and by other companies. Drive your car up the road avoiding all the obstacles and other vehicles. Nothing much to it really, but a hard game to track down in cartridge form. Simple graphics and sound were standard for most 1982 early programs, and the challenge isn't all that great either.

Comments: Evidently it wasn't just Commodore's fare that was being put onto Romox's EPROM carts, Sierra had this little gem encased in a foreign environment. Assuming it was all legal and this is a genuine, made in 1983 cart of course.

Comments: Apparently it wasn't only American games that made it to the depths of being duplicated on masse (or then again, maybe not). This is actually French in origin, and French in language if closely looked at. It is also a Q*Bert clone, and quite a decent one at that.

Comments: Unsurprisingly a clone of Frogger. Instead of the traffic you have knights on horseback, though you still seem to have logs and turtles on the other side. What the princess has to do with it all, I don't know. You've played one Frogger type game, you've played them all really. Just a question of figuring out which one of them is the best. And this isn't it really.
