==Myriad version== [[File:6in1myriad.jpg|thumb|''Myriad 6 in 1'' cartridge]] When Caltron Industries, Inc. was going out of business, a company based in [[Kingwood, Houston|Kingwood, Texas]] named Myriad Games, Inc., bought all of their existing inventory of tan cartridges. Myriad then took the carts and added a very generic (no graphic art) label. They were then packaged in custom boxes with a folded manual. Each Myriad cart and box were numbered individually. Myriad's only change to [[NTDEC|Caltron]]'s product was to replace the label with their own. In fact, the edges of the Caltron label are still visible, as the Myriad label is slightly too small to cover it. No programming changes were done, hence the game is exactly the same, including the title screen which still reads "Caltron". The six games on the cart are identical to Caltron's release. Shortly after the release of ''6 in 1'', Myriad went out of business for unknown reasons. The game has become one of the rarest [[Copyright infringement|unlicensed]] games made for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]. Collectors speculate that fewer than 100 copies of this game still exist, and even fewer are complete. The most valuable copies of the game are those with the box, instructions and cartridge with matching serial numbers. The lowest known serial number is 000003 and the highest is 000888. At least two sealed versions are known to exist.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.gamesniped.com/2009/10/14/myriad-games-caltron-6-in-1-nintendo-nes/ |title=Myriad Games Caltron |access-date=2010-04-14 |archive-date=2009-10-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091018044403/http://www.gamesniped.com/2009/10/14/myriad-games-caltron-6-in-1-nintendo-nes/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.nintendoage.com/media/elements_nocache/2E814016-B36E-7003-011629463F0B4F2D.jpg |title=Archived copy |access-date=2010-04-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180929100644/http://www.nintendoage.com/media/elements_nocache/2E814016-B36E-7003-011629463F0B4F2D.jpg |archive-date=2018-09-29 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
