Pretty darn cool!
Thom Grayson:
Is there something special about the Pinball NES game I'm missing? They seem pretty common... or maybe that's just in my area?

It's got an official Famicom to NES adapter inside. A handful of some of the earliest 1st party NES titles had them :)

I think it's due to the pin converter. It's a famicom cart plugged into a converter to make it work on NES. Most early NES games had that and I think it was changed over to a dedicated cartridge later on.
While the game is common and easy to find, not sure of they all have the converter or not.

@Segamer Thanks.
@Wiggy
Yeah, I was planning on asking for one of those, Got any spare? ;D
I have a toploader so that should help them not get stuck in my system.
We really should complete that trade when both of us have time. :P Its been over a year.
I got the converter because I bought a Famicom game earlier this month, I was also planning on getting SMW CIB for the Super Famicom from the same guy, but I lost the bidding and just got that.
Any good Japan exclusives I should check out?
