You can use MESS to play the Mega Duck. It's definitely worth it. There is no saying how to acquire the roms for it though. You could try googling "complete mega duck rom pack" and see what comes up. Who knows, the first result might be from the iso zone.
9:25 Bestellkarte is German for "ordering form" to (mail) order additional peripherals, other games, etc. from the same company. There seems to be quite a selection of titles on the ordering form, from what I could see in that one frame. :D

It originated from Hong Kong and was called the Cougar Boy in South America. It made it into Europe and throughout parts of Asia but never to the USA (except in a few rare, exceptional cases).
If you have a spare copy of Snake Roy for the Mega Duck, I believe the preservation community is still needing a valid dump of it. I know we are definitely missing the Mega Duck version but lack the capability of dumping a Mega Duck cartridge. It's a real shame that so much of the Mega Duck and even more obscure console libraries are at risk of being lost forever, or in some cases more than likely have been lost forever already. If even the slightest bit of interest in contributing, let me know and I'll see who is out there that's reputable, established, and capable of dumping the cart.

I'm working on a complete play through of fatal craft for the Supervision. I think I'll be the first person to have ever recorded the ending of the game. It's quite difficult.
Anyone ever uploaded the ending of this game on youtube ? The intro of the game is pretty good, so I'm wondering if the ending is a cutscene as well or just a "Congratulations you won" text message
That sounds like it is worth sitting through the hours it would take to complete this! It uses a password system, so potentially I could get to the end and make the last level's password public!
Last level password is ROC. The game's 5 worlds with 8 levels each. The ending is as follows: Roy gets some kind of crystal ball, gets turned back into a human, goes to Jada, tells her he will pay for the stuff she done to him, she tries to turn him into a snake, Roy uses the crystal ball to reflect the magic to Jada, Jada gets turned into a snake, some Chinese appears. Same kind of awesome cutscene as the intro.
Every game is, was, and always shall be a Mega Duck game, but in all seriousness -- not certain. It's been a difficult process (due to low interest in the system, high cost of games, and increased difficulty-through-obscurity) even assembling a somewhat respectable set of rom dumps for the Mega Duck. I've yet to come across any prototypes, but I have come across a few alternate versions of known games.
mmatt crow Actually, the French is correct. The Italian is just a description of the system, not the game. “A complete electronic game board for puzzle lovers”
strangely enough is German only, while the Mega Duck was released in FR, DE and NL. I would have expected that the order card would be in English for that reason.
@Raznov German reseller from Berlin thats why it is german only. but i think nl and fr had different resellers, maybe? it was common in the "ol' days" that games where explizit packeged for their specific customer language.
Unfortunately not, this game doesn't work on anything past the GBP as it actually tricks the GameBoy's bios during load up to say "COMMIN" which was fixed the GBA forward.
The Retro Future I was just thinking what would I do if I could time travel, 1. But rare video games when they got put on sale 2. Make a weird video game
The Retro Future I mean no disrespect to the artist or the fan who sent in the fanart but I just don't get what's appealing about it. But if you love it that's all that really matters so that's cool.
The best cover art ever made.
Agreed!
@@TheRetroFuture it was so good that it became the best-known aspect of the entire game.

“Roi” actually means “King” in French. It’s the root of the word “Royal”. How original!
It's not a Hidden gem, It's a *MASTERPIECE*
I agree.
i don’t agree. it’s just snake.
but Retro Future made a whole dang video prove his point.
fun video anyway. maybe i missed something.
There's also an 8 in 1 game out by the conpany Sachen which features a coloured version of Snake Roy

Bestellpostkarte is German. It's a postcard you could use to order other games from Hartung
Snake Roy’s plot is similar to a night out I had once!
HAHAHA!
Too many naughty Candy's at the disco.

Owning Snake Roy is one of my main aims for my collection
I wish you the best of luck on your quest!
I got 3 copies too! Boxed :D
The Mario Land DX artwork is another masterpiece
"Watashiwa Snaku Royu!!"
"Snaku Royu deska?"
"Hai..Snaku Royu!!"
Never heard of Mega Duck. Was this a Europe only system? UK? Germany?
It originated from Hong Kong and was called the Cougar Boy in South America. It made it into Europe and throughout parts of Asia but never to the USA (except in a few rare, exceptional cases).
Was I the only person who thought snake Roy might be a rpg?
Krimson Soul with that opening j expected it to
If you want to play an RPG with royalty that turns into a snake, play For The Frog Bell Tolls
Someone really needs that cover art to be their profile picture on RUclips.
Haha, I've only just got this one!
Looks like an album cover from the early 70s. Maybe progrock or something folksy
This is the first RUclips video that has made me actually laugh a couple times in the first couple of minutes
you mean when he spelt scream as screm
Its ashens again, wait your not ashens!

I gave you a thumbs up because the way you play the keyboard is simply brilliant.
Thank you!

Hahaha thank you! That's incredible.
No problem! :) Keep up the really nice work! :)
That wasnt such a Bad Game back in the days.
Even it was Bootleg :D
Not at all! It's a shame the Mega Duck screen lets it down.
I'm working on a complete play through of fatal craft for the Supervision. I think I'll be the first person to have ever recorded the ending of the game. It's quite difficult.
That artwork is better than the originally mega man cover!!!
Collecting bodyparts explains why you grow longer.
Enjoying the Euro-Engrish in the manual/packaging. I don't often get to see English mangled by Germans.
Hahah, they didn't do too badly!
Nothing will beat snake 2 on the Nokia 3315 for snake
Not even Fortnite.
The Retro Future yep even snake 2 beats fortnite
my question is: do Gameboy games work on the Megaduck as well?
I know I'm 3 years late but nope -- different form factors, pinouts, and even if those issues are resolved -- the two systems are not compatible.
So this is the only game you've ever played then?
12 Minutes before he gets into the actual game wew
I can hear everyone 'screm' in the comments about that typo. :P
The cover picture will give you nightmares
Why is your gameboy pocket screen so green??
Looks like Kevin Smith took one look at that cover before making a movie
The mega duck!? I've never even heard of that
I'm still not sure if this video is a joke or genuine. F'ing Snake. Jesus I am old...
the music would actually be pretty good with some sick bass beat on it
Sparks N Zeros the music is Manuel De Falla's "Danza ritual del fuego" of his "El amor brujo" orchestral ballet.
Very fun video! I might draw some fan art for you. 😂
Thank you!!
Alright, the keyboard part had me hooked.
Hahaha glad you liked it! That was the Mega Duck Super Junior Computer.
just like happens all the time.
Snake roy looks like mega man box art guy version 1
That price wasnt so bad, really
Where can I find it?
Still better graphics then my computer.
That game cover pic looks real wierd. Jesus saves
Where can I download the ROM??
Where can find 4+1?
Like a reverse God Emperor of Dune.

Same kind of awesome cutscene as the intro.
Imagine if you asked for a game boy for Christmas and got a mega duck instead.....wtf!
I'm sure it happened!
Solid keyboard solo!
Arbok should evolve into Snake Roy
Why collect the same game I get if the was a American version and a UK versions of the game and you have both systems to play them on
“HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?!” XD
Masterful voice acting.
Professional.
Wait. The King's name is Roy?
Great video Elliot
:)
Two or technically 3 characters in smash bros.
Is Snake Roy +maxmoefoePokemon?
It's a Tsuchinoko!
high resolution dot matrix lcd………….
Two videos in two days? Are you ok?
I have had a week off work!
8:24 was that a pun
In your next video you should do it about the odroid go
HOW LONG DOES DIS TAKE!!!!?????!!!! 😂😂😂😂
u want some snake eli fan art
You should rip the snake roy rom and play it on the Odroid-Go. lol
That woukd be revolutionary! Snake Roy on a backlit screen... :O
im new to the channel and loved this vid,
If they are not all like this i wont subscribe...
Someone dump this please! I have an EverDrive I would be willing to play it
But 3-digit passwords is nice! No nonsence...
9.42 that list contains some actual unknown and unreleased games! Could there be some more Megaduck games out there somewhere?

If you dont like duck, then you are rather stuck
And you suck!
The title made me think it was made by rare.
"Hidden gem" is a bit much mate
I disagree!
I love you
:)
The Retro Future thx elliot
Great work m8
Everytime I see this cover I feel like they just blatantly copied the cover art from Simon's Quest. Anybody else?
You know what’s special about the box description? Both french and italian translation don’t match the english one at all.
Oh cool! Whats the general crux of it?
The French translation looks the same
mmatt crow Actually, the French is correct. The Italian is just a description of the system, not the game. “A complete electronic game board for puzzle lovers”
I can make art!
Sign me in!
It will be digital tho😫😓

"bestellpostkarte" this card was there to order more games
strangely enough is German only, while the Mega Duck was released in FR, DE and NL. I would have expected that the order card would be in English for that reason.
@Raznov German reseller from Berlin thats why it is german only. but i think nl and fr had different resellers, maybe? it was common in the "ol' days" that games where explizit packeged for their specific customer language.
German BestellKarte = OrderCard
someone make the etika snake meme with this
tsuchinoko real
screm?
the bestellpostkarte is a order form to get the other games. Its in german language.
does snakeroy gameboy work on gba sp?
It will. GBA SPs can play original Gameboy games.
Unfortunately not, this game doesn't work on anything past the GBP as it actually tricks the GameBoy's bios during load up to say "COMMIN" which was fixed the GBA forward.
The Retro Future Interesting info.
CyDragonGM Not this particular cart, though.
The Retro Future I'm sure it would be possible to hack the ROM so it would no longer have to use the double-logo trick though.
2:03 screm...
Snek Boi.
Wow
Indeed!
Thanks!
SNAKE
ROY
I swear some of this weird stuff that pops up is done by time travellers
Haha how?
The Retro Future dunno, makes sense
The Retro Future I was just thinking what would I do if I could time travel, 1. But rare video games when they got put on sale 2. Make a weird video game
Are you joking about that artwork being great? As an artist I think the game cover is terrible.
How could you say that!
The Retro Future I mean no disrespect to the artist or the fan who sent in the fanart but I just don't get what's appealing about it. But if you love it that's all that really matters so that's cool.
whoosh
Snaaaake
Wtf
This video is so hot
Ashens wannabe.
The mega duck!? I've never even heard of that
