    Default Is this original? (Famicom)

    A friend of mine gave me a Famicom cart, which is a pirate one in my opinion (but a good pirate), but i want to know if i´m wrong or not...here are some pics...




    I know that this game is from Taito and the cart is a bit heavier than other famicom clones and have that strange label in the back, so...what do you think people?

    Thanks in advance

    I'd say it's a pirate, even if only based on the "Video Game" copyright on the back of the cart
    I'm always looking for new boxed NES accessories. If you've got any for sale, shoot me a PM!

    I also think it's a pirate. You're right, Flipull was released for the Famicom by Taito. And their logo is obviously missing from the label.
    The (c)Video Game is another clue as speedy_NES mentionned. The quality of the label (especially with the game pics) are also a clue. I'd say it's a pirate.

    I love these threads. Anyway, I concur, it appears to be a bootleg version. Nowhere on the cartridge does it have the Nintendo Famicom text mark, every genuine Famicom game I've ever come across has it on either the front or the back. If it doesn't have any problems, still a good game though.
