Title: Kenyan Knockoff Version of THUG2
Post by: mwb37 on April 15, 2016, 09:13:02 am
I just discovered a picture of the box art for a knockoff version of THUG2 that was being sold in Nairobi, Kenya.  Look at this!

It turns out there are actually a bunch of knockoff Tony Hawk games.  There's box art for 9 of them at this link:

I guess they're just pirated versions of the regular games with different box art.  The company that designed the box art is actually located in Damascus, Syria.

Oh god, I had a look at their website, and here are some other gems I found:

They also have dozens of bootlegged GTA games, most of which are very...mind-boggling...to say the least...
