This is the first time I've come across this. It is a blue pcb board in a cart of marble madness. Did nintendo ever use them or is it s pirate?

On the right side it says (C) 1987 nintendo
along the edge it says
NES-ANROM-01 CHR-ROM
the big chip on the left side says SANYO on mine.
EDIT: Just found a second one in a cart of Jack Nickalaus golf

I recall seeing a couple when I cleaned my games. I think that one even said (c)Konami instead of (c)Nintendo (might have been Castlevania 3).

Out of curiosity, what game is it?
Also, are those windows I see on those EPROM IC's? Keep that game away from infrared light.

It is a cart of marble madness. By windows do you mean am I sitting near a window letting the sun hit the board? If so then no, it looks that way because I have flourescent lighting in my living room.

Mask rom, not EPROM. No windows on those bad boys.

Some ICs (EPROMs) have windows that allow the data to be erased by UV light. If your game had EPROMs you'd run the risk of erasing the data if the game were exposed to too much UV light. The chips are common in prototypes, pirates, and reproductions. No need to worry though, your game is EPROM-less.
As for blue boards, the only NES game I can recall having a blue board was a Solstice prototype that Skaar once owned. Outside of that I can't think of any offhand.
Wasn't this thread on nintendoage or something? I know I read and replied to it somewhere. I believe a few people chimed in saying their copies of this game, and several other games, had blue or bluish PCBs.
