Elite World Cup GB 32 in 1

bootleg
multicart

Yet another in a seemingly infinite supply of variations of multicart for the Game Boy consoles. This one is styled "Elite World Cup", and like most multicarts, it says it has X games, and it actually has (X - most of X) games instead. In this case, a 32 in 1 cart with four unique games.

What do you get on this cart?
` The menu displays as "SUPER UT GAME 32" with 12 games a screen (and 8 on the third), and you can scroll through the list, pressing Start on the game you want to play.

01. ELITE SOCCER - "Elite Soccer" by Gametek, developed by Denton Designs, of C64 fame.
02. WORLD BOWING - "World Bowling" by Romstar, which I happen to like because it includes Canada in the "world"
03. SOCCER MANIA - "Soccer Mania" by Sony Imagesoft, which is a really ugly, flickery mess. I don't know if that's because it's on a bootleg cart, or if it's because the original game was shit, however.
04. BATTLE CITY - "Battle City" by Namco, developed by Nova. The classic go-to game for most NES/FC/GB pirate multicarts, probably because it's small.
...and here come the repeats.

None of the repeats have anything special about them, like starting on different levels or trainers, etc, it's just linking back to the same game. I'll leave which of the titles link to which games as a mental exercise for the reader. Personally, I wish I was as cool as the bootlegger who came up with "SPORTS GAME" and "STEEL WHEEL", and I'm mildly curious why they couldn't spell bowling to save their lives.
