Here's a quick translation of the second one:

car game
a car was made by the top experts, it is very high tech
it is going through ny. london, paris, tokyo
to have all kinds of experience to prove the car can face all kinds of problems

rules:
controls go forwards and backwards
A = attack
naughty cat -> jump to avoid
car coming to block you -> A = attack
B = jump to avoid
go to red roads to get to next city
friends cheer you on
use controller I, button A and B to choose one or two players
two players both use controller I

It looks like some unlicenced Taiwanese carts to me. Probably for a clone system. They may be MSX knockoffs, it's hard to tell based on the game names. I imagine they're fairly desirable to collectors of SMS rarities. There was a fairly popular SG-1000 clone there apparently, so these could be SG carts.

Titles:

雙響炮 = double firing cannon
祥瑞游世界 = "Lucky" tours the world

Based on the pinouts, and pins B21/B22 being grounded I would say they are unlicensed SG-1000 cartridges.

Perhaps you could see if the guy still has them if your interested. that thread was about 3 months ago though...

Will do. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the game it's talking about there is "City Connection"

I obtained the cartridges!

Y-003 is MSX Twin Bee hacked for the SG-1000/SMS
Y-010 doesn't work. There's a visible cut on some connection, not sure if they are intentional or not.

Will dump Twin Bee whenever possible.

excellent! I'm glad my post was of use to you.

Hi Everyone

I'm the person that originally found the carts.

I collect for some of the older classic systems; Atari, Coleco, Intellivision, etc. I purchased the SG-1000 carts at a flea market because they looked interesting. At the time I had no idea what they were. I posted some pics at AtariAge in the hopes that someone would be able to identify them.

The seller had about 3 or 4 more carts a few weeks later. I didn't purchase them because I wasn't sure if they were dupes. I also didn't think anyone would want them. :(

Bock contacted me and we arranged for the sale. I went back to the flea market to see if the other carts were still there. Sadly the vendor was gone and someone selling ugly furniture was in his place. I asked around but no one knew where the original vendor had gone. I will continue to visit and ask around. I also intend to check out some of the other local flea markets in hopes of finding the original vendor.

I'm really glad to hear that the one cart is something of interest to SG-1000 fans. Hopefully Bock will be able to dump it and share with the community. I also hope that the other cart can be repaired and dumped.

These yellow (Y series) cartridges was made by a Taiwanese SEGA SG-1000 clone console maker, ""Way-up electronics Industrial Cooperation"", around 1989. The name of the console is "Open-One". This console as I mentioned is a SEGA SG-1000 clone, but with home brew custom mod to operate some specific game cartridges that doesn't work on the genuine SEGA SG-1000 series consoles. These specific Y-series game cartridges usually originate from MSX games. I happened to own this console and has one "S" series game cartridge which is also specifically for Open-One.

Fantastic find !
I love how they copied the design of the famicom for this one

Did they even copy the non-removable controllers? (that seem to have gone missing)

Let's hope that we can find more unlicensed SG-1000 er... goodness?

No...there is a controller slot located at the front side of the console. Two controllers only use one plug in slot to connect to the console. A pretty rare binding design...lol.
