No, this isn't rare at all. Sounds like somebody popped open the cart and switched the board out. This was pretty common with rentals back in the day; you'd rent a game that you really wanted, pop it open and swap the board out with some game you owned that you really didn't care for. Strange that it would be R.C. Pro-Am, and not some really shitty game.

I had a similar experience a few years ago. I bought Ogre Battle 64 from EB, and when I played it, the game actually turned out to be WCW Nitro. Good thing that they had another copy to trade it out with.

Sorry to hear that, but the same as Smashed Brother said; Not rare at all. I have had this happen to me before. Put it Jaws, and it was Lee Trevino’s Battle Golf.

I have an extra copy of Rygar, I may an extra manual as well. Let me know if your interested.

Everybody else is WRONG.

It is quite rare; I don't know if another copy of Rygar R.C. Pro Am even exists.

The value of it and ease of creating a duplicate copy, however, are completely different matters.

This happened to me once too on eBay! I thought I got Firestriker for SNES but when I popped it in the system it was S.O.S.

Every once in a while when sellers do some mass cleaning of cart pins they mix around the boards and the shells.

Not as rare as R.C. Pro Am Rygar - I've yet to hear of one of those... LOL

This used to happen quite a bit back in the rental days.

Someone just really wanted Rygar and switched it for RC ProAm at some point in that cart's life.

I had always wondered if anyone did that. It seems such a simple trick if you have the right screwdriver bit. However, wouldn't the next person to rent it complain and then they'd track down the last person to rent it?

The only time I've ever seen a cart like this was a Legend of Kage cart that had the Legend of Zelda on it.

What if you performed the trick, brought it back and complained? Then they'd blame it on the person who rented it before you. :P

That can backfire under limited circumstances. At Blockbuster we used to get complaints about screwed up movies/games all the time but for the most part we wouldn't blame anybody because there was no way to know who did it. We just took it as a loss for the store.

But one guy came in to complain about a damaged game in an attempt to get a refund. That was a dumb move since it was a brand new game. We were able to check and found that he was the first person to rent that particular copy. So there was no way we were going to cave and I think he ended up getting charged the full cost. He would have been better off just returning it and then when the next person complained he'd have gotten away because we wouldn't have known which of the two customers did it.

Nah.

It also could have been internal employee theft.

oh this brings back memories, I always wanted to do this but never had the guts to do it back as a kid lol
