Hello, I posted on here a month or so ago about a goonies game that I had recently found at a flea market close to my home. I was just wanting to know a little about it. I was told you take a picture of it on the inside so that we could tell more about it. Well I finally got around to it and here it goes. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    it's a pirate/reproduction. the goonies wasn't released on the NES in the U.S. I think it was released on the playchoice and famicom only.







    also. WOW! another MS NA member I was begining to think I was the only one here.

    Thanks, I just didn't know how to tell. I'm very new to collecting and found this at a flea market last month.

    Why cover the EPROM windows? Why does it matter? The board is screwed inside an opaque plastic cartridge. And it's not like incidental exposure to light is going to damage/degrade an EPROM. I don't cover the windows either, partly because it's not necessary, and partly because the glue on various types of adhesive labels/tapes will deteriorate with age, and could fall off. Nothing like that little rattly bit of something inside a cartridge to be annoying. Sure, it might be 20 years from now, but I've got tons of old computer equipment with little EPROM labels floating around inside of it. And I don't have any need to label the ROMs - they go from the burner to the board, I don't need to keep track of what's programmed in them. The cartidge label does that.



    Or, maybe he was just sticking with the Nintendo tradition of not covering EPROM windows. All the old Nintendo arcade games never had stickers over the EPROM windows.
