Unfortunately, if someone had the U.S. Box, we would probably already have it here.

I provided the cover you downloaded but if you look at EBAY for the game I think you'll find the only major difference is the ERSB rating on the US one is replaced by the Censorship classification for New Zealand.

So if you wanted to you could overlay an appropriate ERSB logo an reprint it out ..... I'd say a waste of time personally .... but different strokes for different folks I guess ......

This one was asked about back on the old CAG forums. It's not exactly an easy one to pick up boxed .... the only boxed one available on EBAY at present is .....

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Excitebike-64-Nintendo-N64-N-UNPLAYED-excite-bike_W0QQitemZ220055857038QQihZ012QQcategoryZ62053QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

at a horrific price for what is a really very ordinary game. That's the problem with Request forums .... people ask others to foot the bill so they can finish off their own collection. The N64 issue is that due to the age and small volumes of games released during its lifetime they are getting harder and more costly to obtain ..... unlike new systems like PISS2 and Xbrix where 100zillion people buy the stuff even if it is crap. So the sheer numbers make it way easier to fulfil a request for those systems.

But hey .... if you want to buy that game off EBAY and provide a scan of the cover you'll earn the respect of others like SMMM, wshbrngr, Schenley and myself who have been doing just that for the N64 project.... buying games to preserve the artwork for future generations to enjoy  :)
