ABAB Soft was a publisher of bootleg Famicom games founded in 2003, and was the publisher of Hummer Team's games until they went out of business in 2005.

Games[]

ABAB Soft's carts included official games and pirate originals developed by Hummer Team. [1] Their 4-in-1 multicarts generally seem to go under the Super Cool Boy 4-in-1 name using CB-xxxx IDs. However, not many of their carts have been found and the multicart menus that appear on their (now defunct) site all appear to be mockups. Despite that, according to Hummer Cheng, these multicarts were in fact released (albeit some of the multicarts have a few games changed). [citation needed]

Trivia[]

  • On the website, the mockup screenshot of the multicart that contains Rings is the only known instance of its title screen. On the Super New Year Cart 15-in-1, the graphics for it have been removed so even if you attempt to access the screen through hacking, it only appears as a mess of tiles.
  • In the source code for the website, you can find Handel Liao's name. Handel Liao was responsible for running Zechess. Given how Zechess started up in the same year ABAB Soft vanished, Zechess could be seen as a successor to ABAB Soft.
  • it is speculated that ABAB Soft had plans to release or work to release plug and play systems due to them having lots of games they feature being Plug n' Play esque, such as Ping Pong and Dance Y2K, aswell as other examples, this could explain the connection between zechess and ABAB soft

Aliases[]
