    Top two are fakes, not sure about the last one but it seems unlikely that they would use (old) Adventure-style art on the cartridge of a port of Sonic 1.

    Considering it's a "3 in 1", I'd go with yes, it's a pirate.

    That S1 on GBA is probably the best pirate cart I have ever seen, if it is one.

    All three appear to be pirates, yes. The third one looks kind of neat with a Sonic Adventure-styled cover, though!

    Thanks. Well, the first one was obvious, using an art from Sonic Jam.

    They may be pirates, but the cartridge work is pretty convincing on them. :thumbsup:

    The first and third one are definately pirates. I have no idea about the second one, as I'm not familiar with Genesis/Mega Drive games, but judging from what people are saying here it's probably a pirate as well.

    The first one is pretty obvious. It's a multicart with three games that seem to have very little to do with each other. The second one is fake for using Sonic Adventure-style artwork and because it has the ESRB rating printed on it. When you see a cartridge with an ESRB rating and it's sold in Europe, you can be fairly sure that it's a fake.

    Number 2 is definitely a pirate, "Player 40" is a well known Mega Drive pirating company which has also created a 2-in-1 cartridge of Twin Hawk and Fire Shark. Also "SONIC" is at the bottom, which should say Sega Genesis.

    Number 1 is a yet another GBA pirate multicart. Enough Said.

    Number 3 is also a pirate, no Seal of Quality, and no SEGA logo (Which is common for pirate carts to remove company names), and it looks nothing like the actual cartridge.

    I think I'm more interested what is actually on the third one, if it's some crappy NES pirate on an emulator or Sonic 1 Genesis. I think I'd prefer the pirate though. =P

    First one is unconvincing at all.
    The second one comes close, but "Player 40" was never on any boxes I saw and it should say Sega Genesis, not Sonic.
    The third onw is also a pirate pretty obviously. The cart art actually looks like they put effort into it, while SEGA didn't.

    The second one is so close, though, and the third one is pretty awesome.
