Summary

The Caltron 6‑in‑1 is a curious NES multicart that bundles six distinct titles, each a thinly veiled homage to more famous arcade and console hits. You’ll find a pseudo‑3D shooter reminiscent of Space Harrier, a horizontal scrolling shooter that later resurfaced as pirate versions of Aladdin III and a Super Harry Potter‑style game, a Pang clone called Balloon Monster, a Balloon Fight‑style platformer named Adam & Eve, a Sokoban‑inspired puzzle called Porter, and a Brush Roller hack titled Bookyman. Though the games are technically playable, reviewers have consistently slammed the collection as uniformly low‑quality, especially when compared to other unlicensed packs like Action 52. Adding to its mystique, the cart was re‑branded by Myriad Games in Texas without any code changes, and today fewer than a hundred copies are believed to exist, making a sealed set with matching box and manual a prized collector’s treasure.
