Hello, people, this is Unlicensed/Pirate Multicart/Hack Man and today I am going to overview the Caltron 6-in-1. Oh boy....here we go.

1. Cosmos Cop - This is a mediocre version of Space Harrier. Play anything else but this (aside from the Caltron 6-in-1, because the Caltron 6-in-1 is a piece of junk).

2. Magic Carpet 1001 - This is the best game on this multicart.....sadly, Magic Carpet 1001 is only average at best. It does have power-ups (which are randomized, by the way) like most shooters on the NES, so it's not TOO bad for a Caltron 6-in-1 game.

3. Balloon Monster - Really, game? REALLY? The developers of the Caltron 6-in-1 JUST had to rip off freaking Buster Bros, didn't it? Oh, but you know what the worst part is? THERE ARE NO POWER-UPS IN THIS GAME AT ALL! THIS GAME FAILS!!!!!!!! EVEN SACHEN PORTED BUSTER BROS (AND SUPER BUSTER BROS) OVER TO THE NES AND THOSE PORTS WERE AT LEAST DECENT AND THOSE PORTS HAD POWER-UPS! AAAAAUUUGGGHHHHHHH!!!

4. Adam and Eve - Okaaaaaayyyyy......this game is not like the original Adam and Eve, but you know what Adam and Eve REALLY is on the Caltron 6-in-1?

Is it:

A. A Poor Clone of Balloon Fight
B. Some Super-Awesome Game That Nobody's Even Heard About
C. Killing Flies And Them Eating Them
D. NOTHING!!!!!!

If you guessed A, you're correct!!!! Adam and Eve is a poor imitation of Balloon Fight (although it DOES have power-ups and different levels, at least, so it's not AS poor as Balloon Monster is). However, the hit detection kind of sucks here (as you will see me trying to go under platforms, but I can't because the hitbox is too big). Another thing: WHY DOES THE APPLE GIVE YOU AN EXTRA LIFE? Didn't the apple take away lives in the original Adam and Eve? You know what, screw it, I really don't care at this point. Also, you have 3 hits to use and the balloons appearing from the bottom of the screen contain either an air pump (gives you back 1 extra hit) or the apple (this gives you an extra life). Every collision from enemies takes away 1 hit and if you do go down to 0 hits, you die...pure and simple. Also, Adam and Eve has co-op play (but then again, so does Balloon Fight).

5. Porter - Let me guess.....it's a clone of Sokoban, isn't it? Yep...it is. I SUPPOSE it's not THAT bad, but it is rather mediocre in terms of gameplay.

6. Bookyman - WOW.....THIS GAME IS A PIECE OF JUNK. I hate the A.I. in Bookyman, because they follow you like you stole something or something like that. It's ridiculously difficult to kill ANY enemies in Bookyman, because they seem to avoid the sliders 99% of the time and their A.I. is just bull (which is not fun at all).

A piece of trivia: Magic Carpet 1001 was hacked into Aladdin 3 (with slower starting speed) and Harry Potter 1001 (the one with GOD-AWFUL EAR-BLEEDING music, ugly graphics and the same slower starting speed as Aladdin 3). If I had the choice between Magic Carpet 1001, Aladdin 3 or Harry Potter 1001........I'd pick Magic Carpet 1001 every time, because the music and graphics aren't too bad compared to Harry Potter 1001's music and graphics.

Another thing I have to note: In Magic Carpet 1001, the hearts give you extra hits (2, I believe), the S power-up speeds you up, the P power-up increases your power (you can have up to five levels of power in Magic Carpet 1001) and the human head with the turban power-up gives you an extra life. There is one other power-up in the 4th stage and that is a magic lamp. The magic lamp grants a TON of extra hits.
