==Unlicensed multicarts== These multicarts were published with the consent of the owners of copyright in the games themselves, but without the console maker's consent: *''[[Action 52]]'', from [[Active Enterprises]]. This ambitious project attempted to put 52 unique games into a single cartridge, but shoddy programming and heavy code reuse between games, combined with a hefty $200 (USD) retail price, resulted in this game often being considered one of the worst multicarts.<ref>[http://www.mobygames.com/game/action-52 Action 52 at MobyGames; most, if not all of the user reviews are critical of the games.]</ref><ref>[http://www.atarihq.com/tsr/special/active.html Active Enterprises article on Atari HQ; the site states that the company had "far more wild dreams than actual talent", leading to their sudden demise in 1993.]</ref><ref>[http://www.atarihq.com/tsr/special/active11.html "...all small companies with big mouths usually go out of business. They tend to promise far, far more than they can actually deliver and end up choking themselves." - Atari HQ on Active enterprises]</ref> *''[[Caltron 6-in-1]]'' - Rare vintage NES multicart, later re-released as the ''Myriad 6 in 1'' **''[[MaxPlay Classic Games Volume 1]]'' *''[[Maxivision 15-in-1]]'', which contained fifteen games from unlicensed NES manufacturers such as [[Color Dreams]] and [[American Video Entertainment]]. * The North American versions of the ''[[Quattro compilations|Quattro]]'' series by [[Codemasters]], published by Camerica * [[Wisdom Tree]] compilations: ** ''[[Bible Adventures]]'' - This three-in-one Game Boy cartridge featured ''Noah's Ark'', ''Baby Moses'', and ''David and Goliath''. ** ''King James Bible'' - This included the [[King James Version]] [[Bible]] in [[e-book]] format, plus ''Bible Word Match'' and ''Bible Shepherd''. ** ''[[King of Kings: The Early Years]]'' - This three-in-one NES cartridge featured ''The Wise Men'', ''Flight to Egypt'' and ''Jesus and the Temple''. ** ''NIV Bible & the 20 Lost Levels of Joshua'' - This included the [[New International Version]] [[Bible]] in [[e-book]] format, plus ''Bible Word Match'', ''Bible Shepherd'' and ''Joshua: The Lost Levels''.
