@Tasuki - that it is, as Mk_II says (not as LightningCount says, I don't illegally download video games), and I really think it's a good adaptor (though, like the RetroDuo system [which I use to import SFC games], I would've liked the cable to have been a little longer, since the RetroGen adaptor has to be plugged in to the TV but aside from that I don't have a problem with it).
Currently playing:A little bit of everything :D
Fan of:Adventure Time,The Legend of Korra,The Amazing World of Gumball,Regular Show,Futurama,and gaming on handhelds,consoles,and the PC.
@Ryno - yes, Activision published BioMetal, but it was developed by a company called Athena; so far I think it's a fun shmup with neat visuals and a rockin' soundtrack, though it's a little hard for me atm (I'm having a hard time beating the first stage; plus I'm not that good at playing most shmups), but I'll improve my skill as time goes on and the more I play it

And that is something us retro fans love about the classic retro games! The games back then made you increase your skill otherwise you would get absolutely nowhere.
To blessed to be stressed.
80's music makes me feel fabulous.

Athena... I remember most of their games not being that good, but probably their best known was the shooter-maker series Dezaemon (vertical shooters, though I heard later games did put in the ability to make a horizontal shooter).
Activision actually changed the soundtrack for the western version of BioMetal (and they did it again for a hack-and-slash beat-em-up called X-Kaliber 2097).
And BioMetal's music is probably rockin' because well... it was licensed from a group called 2Unlimited (the title screen track, "Get Ready For This", is one you song you probably couldn't have lived through the '90s and not recognize. ) (admittedly, putting licensed music in a game, especially a cart game, was really unusual at that time)
I remember passing up Little Ninja Bros. for the NES for like $15 at a store last year.
That game went up in value in a hurry. Some actually bought one for over $35 BIN. Crap, I better buy that game before it starts to go crazy.
Assuming this order I made for a few games including Super Chinese World 2 hasn't been lost, I guess that would wrap my collection on the Ninja Boy/Super Chinese series (or at least the RPGs. Don't have Ninja Boy 1 for Game Boy, but that was a port of the non-RPG Kung Fu Heroes for NES, yeah?)
Quickly tested out Sparkster and it seems like an awesome opossum game! I will probably Rocket Knight this one up to the front of Ryno's retro queue.
I don't know what it is about arcade style beat 'em ups and hack 'n slash's but I just cant, just cant, just cant get enough like Natural Selection especially when it comes to Capcom's classics!
If you don't know the jam, here's some Natural Selection for ya:
@Master_Ryno
dude get capcom classics collection vol 2 and taito legends vol 2 for ps2, they are filled with arcade beat em ups. the arcade of nights of the round is on there too. the taito legends vol 2 has dungeon magic, growl and arabian magic arcade

As @ogo79 said, the SNS-RZ-USA is a prime giveaway that it's not a legit retail cart.
And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)
@Ogster: Thanks for reminding me about the Taito Legends collections.. I definitely want those! I also want Capcom Collection, especially 2, but I still like the individual SNES ports as well. I wish one of the collection's had Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.
