Cassidy Nolen #1 Posted October 9, 2002 Hi guys, Just wondering why this game is a 10, but there is one on ebay for 35 bucks? DPG lists it at $500 bucks, loose! Crazy. I just traded Jah Fish for his, and I was so excited. Now I see its a cheap one. Wierd. Cassidy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CPUWIZ #2 Posted October 9, 2002 It's the NTSC version that is super rare not the PAL one ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest #3 Posted October 9, 2002 It's the NTSC version that is super rare not the PAL one ! Actually I don't think the NTSC version has even ben proven to exist! The rom is out there but no one seems to have one. Is it possible that the rom was from a PAL cart and was hacked into being NTSC? Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas Jentzsch #4 Posted October 9, 2002 Is it possible that the rom was from a PAL cart and was hacked into being NTSC? Not me this time, I swear! Technically possible yes, but that's true for nearly all ROM variations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattyXB #5 Posted October 9, 2002 The ROM is very old. I don't think, that someone earlier has hack games. So its maybe a true NTSC ROM. But who knows? And I think, the PAL version is too very Rare. Maybe not so Rare like an NTSC version, but Rare at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jahfish #6 Posted October 13, 2002 yes, so far it seems nobody is able to come up with a NTSC version .... joel also started a thread with no results. i am supposing that this is based on pal carts that were sold on ebay.com .... the cheapest mangias i've seen on ebay went around 60$ but looked real ugly ... i've had a boxed one for 100$ once, another for 150$ .... the "more common" loose ones usually end between 80-120$ ... that is why i added you a bunch of weirdos in trade to make it equal ...

AtariKari #7 Posted October 13, 2002 In the game, there is a cat in the window, a dog under the table, and then a third "ghost" animal, only visible because it obstructs the other graphics. Give it a play and you'll see what I mean. Is this any evidence that the NTSC is a hack / why would someone program a game with invisible graphics? I'm using the CCart and AA rom, btw.

Tempest #8 Posted October 13, 2002 Yeah I saw some strange crap like that when I was playing, but I assumed it was a glitch. In the manual it only mentions the cat and the dog so I doubt theres a hidden animal. Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CPUWIZ #9 Posted October 13, 2002 Weird, I have the NTSC version on a cart but I haven't seen any artifacts are you guys sure it doesn't have anything to do with the cuttlecart or perhaps a bad dump ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest #10 Posted October 13, 2002 You have an NTSC Mangia? A production cart? Got a pic? Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
