Amarthar's Secret of Mana 2 repro updates thread
Akumu:
Killer Instinct had a black cart in Europe.
marioxb:
Oh did it? I have one of those Nintendo Power Japanese carts too. I think it's white. So that's at least two Japanese shaped SNES carts that are a special color. Kinda interesting that Japanese and PAL SNES carts, systems and controllers look the same, but for NES carts, systems and controllers, the USA and PAL versions look alike. So the oddballs are Famicom and US SNES, having no overseas lookalikes.

Not so good. Right now I'm kinda struggling form money, since I just lost my job. As such, I still need to get my hands on the EEPROMs, as the ones compatible mentioned on snesdev.romhack.de are VERY hard to get here in Poland (and if they are availible, the prices are outrageous). Right now I only have the disassembled NHL '97 cartridge, and semi-finished redesigned box & label. I didn't even start on the manual.

Yes.

Did you guys get the Zeldas in gold on the NES? I know there were lots of different colored Famicom games, but I'm not sure about PAL NES.

AFAIK Doom and Carnage were standard grey in the PAL regions, though KI was black. And yes, we did get the gold NES Zelda.
