"Caltron 6 in 1 is a multicart developed and published in 1992 for the NES in North America by Caltron Industries, Inc. (credited as Caltron Ind. Inc.), a Taiwan-based video game company which was either closely related to, or simply a pseudonym for, NTDEC. In Australia, it was published under the title Real Player‘s Pak by HES. Dynacom released the cartridge as Multi Ação 6-in-1 for the Brazilian market. As its title suggests, 6 in 1 consists of six different games in various genres, which mostly are popular clones of the era. It's composed of: Cosmos Cop, Adam & Eve, Magic Carpet 1001, Balloon Monster, Porter, and Bookyman. These titles were all previously released as stand-alone Famicom format by NTDEC, often under their U.S. brand Mega Soft. The compilation has received poor reviews, with one reviewer claiming that all six games on the multicart are "uniformly awful [and] barely first-generation NES quality", even though they are more playable and are of "much higher quality" than other unlicensed video game compilations, specifically citing Active Enterprises' infamous Action 52 as the comparative example. Games * Cosmos Cop is a pseudo-3D into-the-screen shoot 'em up similar to Sega's Space Harrier. However, the game experiences a lot of image breakup on the screen due to the NES's limited capability of handling first-person scaling. * Magic Carpet 1001 is a horizontal scrolling shooter that was later released on pirate cartridges as Aladdin III, and with some graphical and sound modifications as Super Harry Potter. Besides being the only original title on the cartridge, it has been criticized for its steep difficulty curve. * Balloon Monster is a clone of Mitchell's arcade game Pang (Buster Bros. in North America). * Adam & Eve is a single-screen platform game similar to Balloon Fight by Nintendo (itself based on Joust by Williams Electronics), in which the player has to kill snakes by bursting the balloons attached to their heads. It also received criticism in that had very little relevance to the homonym biblical story. * Porter is a puzzle video game similar to Thinking Rabbit's Sokoban and Boxxle (the first was created by Hiroyuki Imabayashi), where the player has to move boxes into specifically–marked places. Criticized for its controls; boxes can only be moved while holding down the A button, and if the B button is accidentally pressed, the level automatically restarts without any warning to the player. * Bookyman is a direct Brush Roller hack, the clone of another arcade game: Alpha Denshi's Crush Roller (Make Trax in North America and Europe), programmed by Hwang Shinwei in 1990. Both were considered inferior to their arcade counterpart. Myriad version Myriad 6 in 1 cartridge When Caltron Industries, Inc. was going out of business, a company based in 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 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 unlicensed games made for the 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.http://www.gamesniped.com/2009/10/14/myriad-games- caltron-6-in-1-nintendo-nes/ References Category:1992 video games Category:Nintendo Entertainment System games Category:Nintendo Entertainment System-only games Category:Single-player video games Category:Video game compilations Category:Unauthorized video games Category:Video games developed in Taiwan "
"Jacob "Jake" Sisko is a fictional character in the Star Trek franchise. He appears in the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9) and is portrayed by actor Cirroc Lofton. He is the son of Deep Space Nine commanding officer, Benjamin Sisko. The character has also been utilized in various books, comics, and video games of the Star Trek franchise. Overview Jake was born in 2355 to Jennifer Sisko, who was killed in 2367 during the Battle of Wolf 359 when Benjamin Sisko served aboard USS Saratoga (Jake was portrayed by Thomas Hobson for the Saratoga scene). In 2369, he reluctantly moved with his father to space-station Deep Space Nine. Jake soon becomes friends with a Ferengi named Nog, son of Rom, despite the disapproval of both of their fathers. Jake and Nog become the first students to enroll in Keiko O'Brien's school. When Rom pulls Nog out of school, Jake secretly tutors him. The pair also briefly form the "No-Jay Consortium" as a front for their business schemes. Jake aspires to be a writer, though he declines a scholarship to the Pennington School (New Zealand) in 2371. He briefly dates a Bajoran dabo girl named Mardah against the approval of his father, who embarrasses Jake by revealing his penchant for dom-jot hustling and poetry. In 2372, Jake writes a draft of his first novel, Anslem, under the influence of Onaya, an alluring alien woman who feeds on creative neural energy by tactile absorption through the cranium ("The Muse"). As Jake becomes a young adult and feels the need for independence, he moves out of his father's quarters to become roommates with Nog, who is now a Starfleet Academy cadet on DS9 for field study. Jake's slovenliness and Nog's new-found neatness initially strain their friendship, until Benjamin Sisko, as Nog's commander and Jake's father, orders them to settle their differences. In an alternate timeline ("The Visitor"), Benjamin Sisko is thrust into an odd sub-space dimension after being struck by an errant energy bolt in the USS Defiant engine room. After the accident, Sisko is presumed dead, but he later appears to Jake several times throughout Jake's life. After a short but successful career as a novelist (including the publication of Anslem), Jake spends the rest of his life trying to understand and reverse the accident. Jake learns that since he and his father were in proximity when the accident occurred, a strange side effect has been causing Jake to act as a sort of anchor to his father in sub-space through the years, occasionally pulling Benjamin Sisko into the true world. Jake determines that if he takes his own life during one of these visits, the connection will be severed and Ben will return to the time of the accident. When he is dying (of natural causes, as an old man) Jake releases his father during a final "visit" and his father returns to the past, dodges the energy bolt and prevents this timeline from occurring (Jake as an older man is portrayed in this episode by Tony Todd). Jake introduces his father to Kasidy Yates, a freighter captain. The elder Sisko becomes romantically involved with Yates and marries her in the closing months of the Dominion War. During the Dominion occupation of Deep Space Nine, Jake remains there and serves as a reporter for the Federation News Service, though most of his work is suppressed by Weyoun and the Dominion authorities. Nevertheless, he is able to secretly send messages to his father through Morn. Jake Sisko does not have a counterpart in the Mirror Universe. Mirror counterparts of Benjamin and Jennifer exist there, but they separated before having a child. In the series finale, Benjamin Sisko joins the Prophets, and although Jake is still at DS9 for the final scene of the series, it is not clear if he remains there. In the season two episode "Shadowplay", Jake's age is stated as 15. This puts him at about 20 by the series end.
