Hmm...says it has Activision on the back...some kind of internal company testing cart maybe?

I saw that yesterday, and am guessing that it's a cart to test if games work or not (Like, take some off of the production line and test).

Pretty weird. It sort of looks to me like a copy cart. Maybe one that the actual company used to copy games and loan out? This is where we need Tempest (Matt).

The guy said that all he saw were lines on the screen when he plugged it in, so it either must be a TEST cart, or it is BROKEN. No one is bidding on it anyway.
One of the roms looks chipped off also...

Im really intrested to see what it is. For 5 bucks I might get it myself just out of curiosity.

I've seen other people post about homemade carts like this, but they were always cheaply made do-it-yourself type things. This looks manufactured. I wonder if someone was making these on a reasonably small scale "back in the day"

Someone here should get it for only $8 and see what the hell it is. I doubt it does anything with the huge chip in the thing though...
