[bazariah]

i've been meaning to show this off for a bit but kept on forgetting anyways here is a nes lot i bought a few weeks back

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=112738&item=8220374004

there are two games in that lot which are oddities to say the least, they have nintendo labels over the front of the normal labels, i believe that they were used for demo purposes or review purposes but not entirely sure

i'llget some more pics of the carts for better visulisation :D

I've never seen a cart with that type of label before. Possibly used in a demo unit in europe? (M82 or M8 or something along those lines)

initially thats what i thought, but i remember being in dixons when they had the games in the m82 changed over, and they were using general release carts

i'll have pics on in about an hour or so

im thinking i may sell these if a decent offer is made

bearing in mind they are pal carts too

[jajaja]

Nice find :)
Are they heavier than normal NES games? Any chance you can open them?

[bazariah]

the exitebike i could probably open as it has the older style screws (3 flat head style) and yeah it feels slightly heavier too

the blades of seel has the game screws (i dont yet have a gamebit screwdriver)

[jajaja]

Ah ok. I think demo cart are usualy heavier. I have a demo cart and the circuitboard is as big as the NES cartridge itself.

[bazariah]

i'll open up the excitebike and have a looksie, just got to find an adequate screwdriver

[Chronodriftersx]

I wonder what kind of unit by bandai it's talking about..

[alm0stfinished]

I would like to see the inside, also.

To me it looks like they slapped that sticker on top of the retail version sticker. If so chances are its retail version ROM. Be nice to find a first party Nintendo proto for that price though. 8-)
