Hollywoodcaddy | 72 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 The one that sold on Ebay today with the box n stuff doesn't look like mine if I'm not mistaken...the back plate on the one that sold today has a rev-a back sticker and the chips are not as old either...I'm not saying it's a fake...I'm simply saying it doesn't really match up "timeline wise" is all...so someone else with more knowledge then me can make that call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if this was originally Laketown's but I get the impression it's a new one. It could have been Leo’s, I think he sold most of this kind of stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have the box...just the cart...have no clue what the box should look like...but what I'm saying is that the one that sold a day ago doesn't fit the timeline of the 5 to 3 screw change over really....the back plate and the date codes...I'm not saying that game is fake...I'm simply saying it doesn't really match up with things quite right...the box is whatever...you can put an orange bullet tyson 5 screw in the correct looking box...it doesn't really mean much unless it's a factory sealed box tho....you can do the same for a jaws or the gotcha...the box is kind of irrelevant in this case...that 5 screw gotcha that just sold jas a rev-a backplate and chips with 1988 dates....why though...I have two copies of gotcha 3 screws right now that dont have a rev-a back plate and earlier chip dates...see what I'm saying...in a perfect world a 5 screw game should have earlier chip dates then a 3 screw game...I DONT WANT TO GET INTO ALL THE ARGUING GUYS SO CALM DOWN HAHA....THATS WHY I SAID IN A PERFECT WORLD HAHA... but you see what I'm saying...a jaws 5 screw should not have a rev-a back plate with 1988 chips...

Didn’t mean to come off as if I was arguing. Truly just wanted more info. Thought I saw an earlier comment saying because mine didn’t say rev-a it meant it was faked. I was asking about your cart not box. Was asking if it said rev-a or not. I get thats not the end all be all since like you said a back can be swapped. Were you ever able to see what your date code was on your 5 screw gotcha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no you didnt come off as arguing at all...most of that was for anyone else that was gonna comment on what I said too is all haha...let me take a ganders here at this....Gotcha 5 screw...O7 stamp and no "A" stamp on the back plate...8743A on the little chip...the O7 stamp is a fat O not a skinny 0...dont know if that makes a difference haha....I've had it since the mid-late 90's back before anyone really knew there were rare games so I'm not worried that it's ever been tampered with...Its not in super great condition or anything...just average...kids back then treated games like shit haha...

The PRG chip does have the 8746 date code. As far as the other chips, I wouldnt know if those are date codes or not but it makes sense that they would be.
