Has anyone ever seen one of these before? It's new to me and the action has no details. http://cgi.ebay.com/Zelda-Test-Cartridge-/120701781051#ht_500wt_1156 |

If you look at the label, it's a NES-ZL-USA... isn't that the same number as the standard one? Wouldn't they number it something different? Also, I've seen a couple fake carts around... actually the store we were at this weekend had a fake Donkey Kong Land III cart... of course the label was a total knockoff, was lacking the "Land" in the title and the III was a 3. and the cart was grey, so that was dead giveaway. Anyway back on topic. I'm voting pirate cart on this one. |

Its a test cart used by Nintendo certified repair shops to test the consoles after repair... Pretty rare... I don't know if there is any difference in the gameplay though. |

I HAVE heard about these carts... apparently they were used to test NES consoles and accessories in Nintendo repair shops back in the day, or something like that. From what I've seen in my research, there's a variety of those test carts (Duck Hunt, ROB, Power Pad, Port Test, and a few others), but each of them is fairly rare (some only have one known copy, others are a little bit more common like Duck Hunt and Zelda). From what I've heard, at least in Zelda's case, it's no different from the actual cartridge other than the yellow casing. Finding actual concrete information on those isn't easy (or maybe I'm just being stupid in how I'm searching for it). |
