Magical Chase - hint on production run number?

[zektor]

As many already know, I ended up scoring Magical Chase on ebay a few weeks ago. Up until today I have been playing it on a Turbo Express, until finally scoring a TG16 home console in a trade. I've been playing it most of the day...what a great shooter! I'm actually half way decent on "Rough" too

Anyway, I was checking out the card tonight and cleaning it a little (a little dirt in the little triangle finger part as is usual with many TG16 cards I find) and I noticed something. I was looking at it on an angle in the light and noticed a VERY light, very tiny etching on the face on the card. It is so light that it took some time to make out what it said. At first I thought it was an etching of some kid's name or something. But, it says "TG1072". Turbografx 16 1072nd copy perhaps? Very odd that anyone that owned the card previously would etch something like this into it. Again, it is so light that you almost ned a microscope and a high powered light to see it, but it IS there. Hmm...

probably just an item number of some sort.

You are probably right...ahh well.

Just took a look at the 2 MC Hu's I have and didn't see it. Where on the card are you looking?

I don't see anything on mine either.

I remember hearing that 3000 copies of MC were made, so I guess anything is possible.

On the face of the card (picture). I have to look under the light at an extreme angle VERY closely. Maybe some store etched it on there for some sort of sticking purpose...but again I would have to winder how eay it would be for THEM to read it. I am betting someone over at Quest etched it in during production....but that is just a hunch of course.

I just checked mine out. No number on mine.
