11-in-1 Ball Series

11-in-1 Ball Series is a pirate multicart for Famicom, released throughout the 1990s by JY Company and most likely at least one other publisher.

Overview

This multicart is notable for having 11 games that focus on being a sports compilation. It also includes Pinball, hence the "Ball Series" name.

The menu system is the same as the one used in Kaiser 20-in-1, or Super Cartridge 20-in-1, where game's list is represented with the games being represented with letters from A to K, as well as Bub from Bubble Bobble moving across the screen, shooting bubbles.

JY Company published an updated version of this multicart in 1997 that adds 7 extra games.

Trivia

It's not entirely known when this multicart was first released, but the earliest known version is from 1990. This multicart was re-released several times, with the year being edited on the label. The only real difference is the year of release. The version of multicart on all these releases seems to be the same. Another difference is that the back label with the list of games for some of those versions is also different.

The known versions to exist are:

"1990" - Seems to be earliest version of the multicart
"1992" - Commonly found in Argentina
"1993" - Commonly found in Russia, mostly on pirate carts, shaped like official Jaleco Famicom carts from 1990s, with the "TV GAME CARTRIDGE" written on the cartridge case.
