I gave bad info on the ebay one. 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.

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?

So the back of yours doesn’t have rev-a?

Appreciate the help in any way. I didn’t buy it as legit, so luckily not financially invested. Would definitely be bummed if its not, but wanna do my due diligence. Found an old list from NA of the known copies. Just sent a message to Ferris and Ninja. If anyone knows if any of the others came over let me know.

Thanks Dr. Morbis! So the one I have is 19th week of 1988.

This one looks like it literally sold today on ebay. Has 8813? How is the date code read? Is this one legit in your opinion? ***Edit*** I was looking at the wrong chip. The one from ebay looks legit. Date code is 8746 not 8813.

It was a little scratched up, but I didn’t see and stamped/ indented numbers in there

Back of the cartridge or board?

Updated board pics

That’s my hope too. I’ll post picks of the board when I get home tonight.

I’m thinking so, but hoping not. It wasnt listed or sold like it was. $100 lot with three games, a nes, and some controllers. Feels like too much work for a sale, but it’s definitely possible.

I just picked up what looks to be a 5 screw gotcha. Label looks rough and like it was poorly glued on. At work so I haven’t opened it up yet, but are there any other indicators? Is the board different? Label different? Edited to add more crusty label pics. Plastic is warped at the top seam and side.
