Is this a pirate?

Pirate? Looks like it.

This is the Texan who has the Russian pirate I'm gonna score eventually. He sent me a different pic of this cart for the Pirated page that I'll be putting up. I think it's priced a bit high for a pirate, but then again, it's got to be a damn rare pirate. The NES game itself is pretty rare.

I can't remember where right now, but I seem to remember that there is a pirate version of this game with slightly different gameplay--it's slightly easier because either there are less enemies or the enemies aren't as hard.  Can't even begin to remember where I read that.

I'd be interested to know more, Michael. I've got a Snow Bros. pirate, but I'm not very familiar with the Famicom or NES versions to be able to identify differences.

I was poking around eBay for 60-72 pin converters and this showed up. This isn't an official SMB3, is it? The art looks off, and I thought the cartridge for that was orange.

Yep, it's a pirate. The official one is yellow.

20 dollars??? O______________________O
Man I have like 15 of them in different colors

When the cart doesn't have the name of the game on it, it's a good sign it's not official 

[FamicomFreak]

yeah that's way too much for just one cart. I have it so I know it's a pirated mario 3 cartridge.

wiseacre.

Alright, so $20 is too much. How much could I snag a converter by itself for, then?

[Jedi Master Baiter]

$20

[JC]

I bought my first converter for $12 from a dude in Spain. That's a good price. You can get them for that much, but might have to spend a few more dollars.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

Or you can wait for my ass to get back home on Sunday, clean & test out all my converters & sell you one for 10 bucks.

[Flash1087]

You've got yourself a deal!

Seriously. PM me with the details.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

Alright, on Sunday.  Seriously, after I log off right now, I won't be on until Sunday... unless something goes horribly wrong.
