''Caltron 6 in 1'' is a multicart published in for the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=GameFAQs )〕 released by Caltron, a Taiwan-based video game company which was either closely related to, or simply a pseudonym for, NTDEC. In Australia, it was published under the title ''Real Players Pack'' by Home Entertainment Suppliers (HES).〔(NintendoAge » 6 in 1 Real Player's Pak )〕 This version is regarded by collectors as the rarest HES game. Dynacom released the cartridge as ''Multi Ação 6-in-1'' for the Brazilian market.〔(NintendoAge » Multi-Açäo 6 in 1 )〕 ''6 in 1'', as its title suggests, consists of six different games of various genres. The games included, which are mostly clones of other popular video games of the era, are ''Cosmos Cop'', ''Adam & Eve'', ''Magic Carpet 1001'', ''Balloon Monster'', ''Porter'' and ''Bookyman''.〔 These games were all previously released separately in Famicom format by NTDEC, often under the name Mega Soft. The compilation has received poor reviews, with one reviewer claiming that all six games on the multicart are "uniformly awful () barely first-generation NES quality", even though they are more playable and are of "much higher quality" than other unlicensed video game compilations, specifically citing Active Enterprises' ''Action 52'' as the comparative example.〔 ==Games== The six games included on ''Caltron 6 in 1'' are: * ''Cosmos Cop'' is a pseudo-3D into-the-screen shoot 'em up that is similar to Sega's ''Space Harrier''. However, the game experiences a lot of image breakup on the screen due to the NES's limited capability of handling first-person scaling.〔 * ''Magic Carpet 1001'' is a horizontal scrolling shooter that was later released on pirate cartridges as ''Aladdin III'' and with some graphical and sound modifications as ''Super Harry Potter''. The game has been criticized for its steep difficulty curve.〔 It is the only game on the cartridge that is not a clone of another popular title. * ''Balloon Monster'' is a clone of Mitchell's ''Pang'' and the North American equivalent ''Buster Bros.''〔 * ''Adam & Eve'' is a single-screen platform game similar to Nintendo's ''Balloon Fight'' (itself based on Williams' ''Joust'') in which the player has to kill snakes by bursting the balloons attached to their heads. This game also received criticism in that the game — despite its title — had very little relevance to the biblical story of Adam and Eve.〔 * ''Porter'' is a puzzle game similar to Thinking Rabbit's ''Sokoban'' and ''Boxxle'', where the player has to move boxes into specifically–marked places. This game is criticized for its controls; boxes can only be moved while holding down the A button, and if the B button is accidentally pressed, the level automatically restarts without any warning to the player.〔 * ''Bookyman'' is a direct hack of ''Brush Roller'', the clone of Alpha Denshi's ''Make Trax'' and Kural's arcade game ''Crush Roller'', programmed by Hwang Shinwei in 1990. This game has been considered an inferior clone of their arcade counterparts.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Caltron 6 in 1」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
