Fortunately for the folks that live around here, the Chicagoland area has quite a few legitimate arcades. Not that they're taken for granted. Frankly, I'm waiting for the Retrocade to reopen because the place was really nice and their games were always in good condition. As I was reading this thread I was thinking the same thing before I got to your post. They have a decent selection, but it's definitely a hike if you live in Chicago. I also wanted to mention (while we're on the subject of hard to find games) that if you're into pinball and in the Chicagoland area, Enchanted Castle in Lombard has a fairly nice pinball room with about 15-20 tables. I took the kids over there not too long ago and was pleasantly surprised to find this.

7,600 I really like this game, but I'm not very good at it.

I know absolutely zero about prototype carts, but can someone explain to me why the cart in the first image in the auction is clearly not the same cart in all of the other images? It's almost like the guy accidentally uploaded the image he used to create the forgery.

11,740 Thanks RR for finding the rom. I was surprised to find I didn't have this one, and the site I normally use only had the Japanese version.

20,500 I'm using choplift as well. Mame 0.148 doesn't recognize choplft as a valid rom set. By the way, does anyone know if there is a way to bypass the IC Check when the machine boots?

I remember this commercial. The kid with the "toy robot" that's like "WTF?" always seemed ridiculous to me even as a child. Although I agree with the sentiment.

Well, I opened one up and no there is no ASCIIware logo printed on the PCBs. The only identifying marking is JAKING which I assume is Shenzhen Jaking Electronics, Co. All that means to me is that Nintendo outsourced the manufacturing of the device to this company. I don't see anything that irrefutably links the device with ASCIIware. I took some shots of the boards so that you can see for yourself.

I'm really surprised to read these posts. I've been using mine for going on 25 years and I've never experienced a stuck button. This is not correct. The original NES Advantage was manufactured by Nintendo. You can tell because it has the Nintendo logo on the device and a NES-026 part number on the bottom. Third party licensed products are not going to have those markings. Case in point is the Super Advantage. Nowhere on the controller does the Nintendo logo appear. I don't own one, but I'm guessing there is also no SNS part number on it either.

51,950 I just lost three lives trying to get through that exact part. I didn't make it. Me too. My buddy and I used to play this at the roller rink when we were young. One of us would man the joystick and jump while the other would handle the fire button. Good times.
