to shenske: I'm not really a kind of person to mod stuff, even if it sounds very interesting. By the way, why did you have to slice the cartridge in half? :(
to erggthegreat: If you won't be able to get a scanner or have access to a scanner any time soon, that's not a problem. Just a curious question, does it come with the box?
erggthegreat:
No I usually buy mt NES games as cartridge only but whemn i come across games at flea markets and swap meets and stuff and i see a box thats not here ill buy it regardless if i have the game already or not.

Is it just me or is it REALLY hard to find NES games in their box compared to other systems?
jprogram:
Usually depends on the customer. I know lots of them, including me, would throw away the box and stuff that comes with the game like a manual or health and safety for examples.
I found something at eBay, so maybe I may get the cover for Lode Runner uploaded.

The US version of Gyromite it actually the japanese version with a converter to play on the US NES. (2 seperate chips that connect together)
The top half is the famicom chip of Gyromite and the bottom half is the converter.
Nintendo wanted to save money and time when they released Gyromite to the US. So they used the Famicom chips + a converter chip and it fits perfectly inside of a NES cart.
So in short you stick your famicom game into the converter (bottom half of gyromite) and it is playable on US NES's.
Its a cheap converter because you can pick up Gyromite for about $2, you don't have to keep the game but you can because it still works.
