As for italian you mean the word written on the top in blue marker?
The "Tegulapalle"?
Well, I doubt it's italian. only the last part of the word means something. palle=balls
I doubt that it's a game whith balls.
More like a mix of words, like the PAL word inside...
Take a screenshot of the main menu and the game!
That's a great find!
Tonic trouble! Nice find, man.

From the Wikipedia:
Tegula can mean:
Teulada, Italy, called Tegula during Roman times
Tegula (genus), a genus of snails
Tegula (anatomy), a part of the wings attaced to the mesothorax, in various insects
Imbrex and tegula, interlocking roofing tiles used in ancient Greek and Roman architecture
This must be mixed with balls.
Maybe it's the "Genus of snail's balls"?

a friend of mine took a look at the last clear proto and he is sure its 1 of the vigilante games in early stage.

I think it went for 82 GBP =~110 EUR or $USD 161
EUR 550 ($USD 800) shouldnt be a problem for all 5, at least if you sell them one by one on ebay.
The date on the Beetle Racing game is interesting. It had been released in the US and in a PAL version (I seem to remember it came out in Aus before Eu), but could this be a multi-language EU release or a JAP release?
Mystical Ninja 2 was only released in PAL wasnt it?

According to the DP Guide, Beetle Adventure Racing was release 3/99 in the US, and 9/99 in Europe. The cart says 6/99, so it's a nice proto/review/whatever copy to be PAL.

You are right about bettle adventure racing.
The four PAL exclusives are -
F1 Racing Championship
Premier Manager 64
Taz Express
F-1 World Grand Prix 2
Michael Owen was called Mia Hamm 64 Soccer in the states.
There are two Mystical Ninja games, Goemon's Great Adventure was the other.
There were actually three but the third was JPN only, Goemon Mononoke Sugoroku (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goemon_Mononoke_Sugoroku).

Cool find! Apparently, someone named Murali Tegulapalle worked on Vigilante 8 among other games.

I remember seeing the beta version of Tonic Trouble in Nintendo Power magazine, and it had alot of differences during its beta stage. The maps in their player's guide were even useless to me on one stage because it had been changed in the released version since they covered it, from what I recall. I've been wanting to see a Tonic Trouble beta for a while, so if that one has any significant differences, then let me know.
