    Default Sonic the hedgehog "development" cartridge

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=280357588968

    This seems like a scam to me, because I know for a fact that the canadian version of the game uses the Genesis logo with the PAL artwork, as I have the box to it. That alone is enough to make me smell BS.

    Yeah, it probably is a Canadian cart. But did the Canadian cart have scrolling backgrounds like Japan did?

    <Sarcasm>"I've got a prototype Mario/Duck-Hunt! It looks like somebody pulled off the sticker from the cartridge, but they do this all the time in development! It even says in official Nintendo Sharpie that its a "proto"."</sarcasm>

    Gullible or just excellent marketing by the seller? Overall the old saying that, "Knowledge is power" applies to this case as it so often does in life.

    I was thinking the same thing. I could get a boxload at $1.00 each and make $39.00 profit each time!

    That ebay seller should be reported for being a total douche though.

    Either that or somebody could just send a message to the buyer:

    I GUARANTEE THIS CARTRIDGE FOR ONE FULL YEAR OF BEING AN ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT GAME!!!

    Just happened to look at the pictures and it looks like the cart has been opened. Check out the scratches on the back and the damage to the screws. That "proves" that it is a proto. Why else would someone open it?
