A new way to get the Telefang bootlegs!

[KenjutheDenjuu(imported)]

Thanks to this post by Qiezei on his blog about bootlegs (http://qiezei.blogspot.com/2011/12/collection-update-09-12232011.html), I was able to learn about a couple of sites that allow you to buy Taiwanese/Chinese games from places like Ruten and Taobao which have a very large selection of bootlegs, including the Chinese Telefang bootlegs.

I tried to get a hold of a few of the Telefang bootlegs to check them out, but unfortunately none of them were in stock with the sellers. I did manage to get one however, which is currently in the process of being ordered, and that is the Pokemon Emerald bootleg I mentioned here on the forum that had the sprites of the denjuu from Telefang 2 placed into it.

I'm a little sad I couldn't get all of the ones available, especially since most of them would be extremely interesting to check out. The Chinese Pokemon Diamond/Jade 2 and a bootleg that used the T2 artwork were among the ones I tried to get a hold of. The sites I used were Taobaonow and Taiwan Shopaholic. One of them specialises in stuff from Paipai and Taobao, while the other allows you to buy from places like Ruten which are in Taiwan.

Besides the Telefang bootlegs, I did manage to order two guidebooks for a couple of games by Vast Fame, Shi Kong Xing Shou and Shen Shou Wu Yu, the latter of which has an advert for Telefang inside of it that I thought would be interesting to see (and the first advert of the game i've heard of existing in China/Taiwan). Thanks goes to Qiezei again for mentioning that there was Telefang related stuff inside the guide on his blog.

I may also be able to get a hold of the cart of Shi Kong Xing Shou as well if they still have it in stock on the site i'm looking at. I'll also try and grab a copy of the two other Vast Fame games that were based on Shi Kong Xing Shou as well, but their cartridges are proving to be elusive so far.

I'll be sure to post once the items arrive ^^

I'd love to see the guidebook for Shi Kong Xing Shou

I've seen that blog before; I've seen the person who writes it from another forum that I go to. Anyway, it seems nice that there's a site where it's relatively easy to find all these bootlegs. The guidebook with the Telefang advert is also interesting... is it an official ad, or a pirated one? If it's the latter, then that's weird that they would advertise real games... unless I'm missing something.

I'll be doing scans of both the guidebooks, so you'll get to see everything that's in them ^^

I'm not sure if the Telefang ad is an official one or not. The guidebook is made by a third party apparently, so it's possible that it might be a real one. If it's a bootleg ad I guess that will be even more interesting. Is the other forum you visit called the RX community by any chance? I was reading the walkthrough of Shi Kong Xing Shou not so long ago. I saw your posts on there.

Qiezei has a good blog and Youtube channel about bootleg games. I've probably found most of the information about Shi Kong Xing Shou through him and also Taizou. I believe Taizou owns the fuji.drillspirits site that has the multicart dump of the game. They both visit the bootleg games wiki forum regularly.
