Also, this might be good for a chuckle. I had a dream last night that I went game hunting and found a 4-screw TMNT Tournament Fighters. You know, the plastic hinge by one side of the top label and smooth top on the other. What are the chances of finding that? lol
I am the former owner of the Jackal shown a page or two back. That Jackal actually came from a much maligned game store near Logan Airport (I don't want to mention the name since I know the owner googles it and I don't want to educate him, his prices are high enough already). It had apparently been sitting there for months, since I saw it and thought it was a fake. I went back months later and it was still there, I looked closer at it and saw that it was obviously real. I have decided to sell my 5 screw Kings of the Beach, it is on ebay now if you feel like searching for it item number 311185957585
As an addendum, I don't think the Kings of the Beach I have has been listed here, unless the other guy who had one sold it to an overpriced game store in Eastern MA and probably got pocket change for it since it was in the store's common bin.

I ended up with a Super Mario World a while back that the only difference is the Nintendo seal of quality has the wording backwards on it. It is hard to tell in the picture but I thought it interesting. ***sorry, trying to add a picture from the phone didn't work as well as I would have thought.
This may be a really stupid question. I know nothing about variants and differences between Canadian and US releases, but since some games like Gyromite or Soccer are normally 3 screw in Canada but not in the US. What would stop someone from taking a Canadian 3 screw version of these games and pairing it with a 3 screw cart back of a random game with a US back label? Hopefully this doesn't give anyone any bad ideas but surely it has been thought of before. I suppose there would be much if any money to be made off this as the games are common and the market for people obsessed with variants would be rather limited.

The fact that the front label says CAN on it.
Ah, see I told you stupid question. Clearly I didn't look that closely at it.

Does that mean I'm into this a bit too much?
Thanks!

That is weird.
Anyone else find any cool variants lately?

Nah, I just don't have much tact at 3AM, haha!
I made the mistake of overpaying for a CAN copy of Gyro back in the day. It was my placeholder for some time.
