The Gameological Society (the AV Club's gaming site) has an amazing look at some of the stuff that can be found in markets in Nairobi.

More at the link - and more info here, including screenshots of some of these hacked versions.

Meanwhile, the website of Syrian Games, publisher of most of these knockoffs, has even more insanity:

Much, much more at their site - I haven't had time to look at anywhere near all of it.

Grand Theft Auto: 3 In 1

With Sonic, Mario, SpongeBob

BOTEC · Feb 6, 2013

I would buy this:

Trevelyon · Feb 6, 2013

GTA: Kirk Douglas?

They stole my idea.

xptoxyz · Feb 6, 2013

Quality stuff.

EdibleExplosives · Feb 6, 2013

Holy shit, these are amazing.

Quick, someone photoshop that Ultimate Cap "You think this A stands for France?" scan!

Josh7289 · Feb 6, 2013

Do these games actually run in a PS2?

TheNamelessOne · Feb 6, 2013

I want to see actual screenshots of those games. Unless they are just covers with a blank disc inside.

They have to be modded, which includes basically all consoles in that region.

Tucah · Feb 6, 2013

I would so play GTA: Kirk Douglas.

The Title says: GTA The Golden Trio now with Kurdish SONGS!!!

Shadow of the BEAST · Feb 6, 2013

so are the games actually hacked or is it just some bad photoshopping?

Lijik · Feb 6, 2013

I love the ones where the new cover job run completely opposite to the title

EDIT- Holy shit their Pepsiman boxart might be even more out of left field than the ACTUAL PEPSIMAN

I bow down to these nu-dadaist overlords

Herbspiceguy · Feb 6, 2013

I love this stuff, any gameplay footage or are they just ordinary PSX/PS2 games with 'creative' covers?

Pikawil · Feb 6, 2013

The next Ninja Theory reboot of a Capcom series right there, folks:

Nabs · Feb 6, 2013

I thought this was going to be about the High Res PC Screenshot thread.

CHusson91 · Feb 6, 2013

I'm having nightmares tonight.

8bit · Feb 6, 2013

Wasn't this the US cover for Ico?

Awesome.

That's the money right there. Reminds me of that game with the naked dudes running forward through buildings and stuff - the name escapes me.

Salsa · Feb 6, 2013

took a pic of this a while ago at a local mall

DXB-KNIGHT · Feb 6, 2013

SMT X FireEmblem or Pokemon Conquest are nothing compared to those gems

Mr.Ock · Feb 6, 2013

HBO Boxing? Well... that could be good

This one's an improvement:

The senseless mash-up of (non-super)heroes reminds me of a different sort of Superman bootleg:

Ewwwwww. Ubisoft.

sakipon · Feb 6, 2013

I actually like the use of colors in most of these.

But yeah, that's about it. Crazy stuff.

Awesome.

Super M'tan is such a boring hero.

mr_nothin · Feb 6, 2013

:O
More material for the Playstation Meeting thread!

kai3345 · Feb 6, 2013

Are there actual screenshots of these? or are they just boxarts used for bait and switch?

Pikawil · Feb 6, 2013

Before 2013, this box art would have just been brushed off as a common error but now, it seems the Kenyan pirates are prophets who have foreseen JJ Abrams:

Looking forward to the Mask superhero reboot and Sega eventually securing the Tony Hawk brand

Good lord.

If I was a copyright holder I'd give these guys a free pass.

Ragus · Feb 6, 2013

eewwww

BOTEC · Feb 6, 2013

And this is oddly appropriate:

Yonafunu · Feb 6, 2013

I would buy everything.

Pikawil · Feb 6, 2013

Self-explanatory:

kittens · Feb 6, 2013

This is why I hate region locking.

Hot Coldman · Feb 6, 2013

San Andreas Kirk Douglas? Bwahahaha, is it just like that episode of Torchwood where the Roman pops up in the middle of Cardiff? :lol

Poltergust · Feb 6, 2013

Um, any particular reason why PS3 games are running on a PS2?

And seriously, what is with all of these GTA rip-offs?

sn00zer · Feb 6, 2013

I always wondered what these games actually looked like
EDIT: Are there screenshots for these games?

redmetal86 · Feb 6, 2013

dunno how they missed this

cacildo · Feb 6, 2013

So this is just crazy box art and the games are the same or do they hacked the games to make something really interesting?
