This is interesting news. Congratulations on the great find. It is really amazing that until today no box has been found.

I'm even more amazed that it's an NTSC version. What does that mean?

Does a DC-I also exist in PAL and also a DC-II in NTSC?

 

Thanks for showing this piece.

I agree there should be a ntsc bomb dc-2 and a pal bomb dc-1.

One thing I noticed on bomb dc-2 the wall defender circle is on top overlays great escape. The opposite is happening on bomb dc-1.

Yes, that's the order of the two titles: first title on top of the second one.

Wow...very cool find.  Do the cartridges actually work?  NTSC Bomb carts are frequently dead.

Z-tack works but I couldn't get assault working. Really fun game too. Both carts look brand new. And of course next to notorious e.t. sighting.
