Google Play Store makes me laugh (in a good way)

[Pixel_Crusher]

So, remember those days when chinese bootleg multicarts would have stuff like Castlevania and Mega Man with stupid names such as "Holy Saint Hero" or "Bomber Cyborg Savior" respectively?

Well, the Google Play Store has allowed someone to put some emulated games as free downloads, the hilarity for me is that these have been named in a fashion that I'm not sure whether it was an intentional throwback at the chinese multicart names, or if it was done in order to avoid copyright lawsuits. Either way, I had a good laugh.

Here's all of them.

My favorite one? Sonic Blastman as "King Batman Fighter".

It probably wasn't an intentional throwback, they probably did it to sneak it in to the app store without it getting taken down I think.

God there's a whole mess of the things:

play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Wui+Khuan+Lim
play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=zatkoliefa
play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=sondrupche
play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=gaydoshsu
play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=More+Games

I'm pretty sure this is just plain ol'fashioned piracy crossing over into the new age.

I've actually seen a Street Fighter II emulation, not licensed by Capcom, with the SF2 name, for about five dollars. No idea if it was taken down, but it wouldn't surprise me.
