NOTE: This item will take an extra day to dispatch because it's in our new game store, which doesn't have facilities to pack it. It'll get transferred back to the mail-order department.


Would be good condition if not for the bit cut out of the back of the box where the barcode was - see pictures for details: ACTUAL ITEM PICTURED.
I guess you could put a sticker over it and nobody would know except you.
Note that we only ever crop our photos. We never enhance/retouch them!

You almost always need to lift the cartridge a little bit before you switch it on. If you don’t lift it, it almost definitely will NOT come on. But when you lift it, it seems to always switch on. Once it’s on, it stays on. We played through about half of the game and it never crashed but we also tried it about 6 times over a 3 day period and left it on test and it never crashed once.

I still haven’t been able to work out why some games are like this but we do see it occasionally, specifically with SNES/Super Famicom games and PC Engine HuCards which are a bit tricky because the Card Lock bar which comes over when you switch on only gives you a very tiny amount of room to play with, yet this tiny extra 1-2mm is enough to make a difference. It’s weird. But it works!
