I just recently bought a used SNES and I'm now buying some games for it off of eBay. I'm aware that there are plenty of pirated SNES minis on eBay, and I've also heard that there are some pirated SNES games going around as well. So, I have a few questions about this:

What games should I look out for as being pirated?
What should I look out for in the listing?
How can I tell if a game is pirated once I get it?

I've heard that nintendo only used a certain kind of screw in all of their products, and that seeing a regular old screw is a tip off for pirated SNES minis. Does this also hold for pirated games?

Edit: Also, I'm really only buying the carts, not the sealed games. I've heard bad things about buying sealed games on eBay.

That was very helpful. By the way, does anyone know if the number on the back label of NES carts was ever printed on, as opposed to the imprint?

I see a ban in your future.
