Then what is missing in your collection? Something that you must get to make you feel "complete"?

Does anybody know how to differentiate ori and fake md/genesis cartridges ?
My genesis castlevania bloodlines cover is definitely fake but the cartridge looks genuine to me...

Not too sure wor.. Open the cartridge may be?

i don't have the proper tool to open it, it has 2 octagon shape screws at the back of the cart...

I take close up pic of mine later tonight and you see got any difference

Well 1 way is to look at the PCB board at the end of the cartridge (the part where u blow for NES cart). Originals cartridge PCB are brown in colour, fake are green.

Yes this is true, just check the bottom of your cart will do (green = fake/ brown = ori). Another way to spot is by the label of the cart (got SEGA/ other) logo or not. Normally the fake carts don't have the company/ trademark logo written on the label.

Added on July 24, 2009, 1:39 pmIf your Castlevania bloodlines cart is ori genesis, you will see GENESIS Logo written vertically on the left side of the label and also the KONAMI & SEGA logo, just like the picture below. I also have both the carts and the fake one is very easy to distiguish even only by the label.


ori genesis cart, borrowed from other website.


Note that not all Genesis cart will have similiar logo, other also have a black & silver Genesis logo which also is an original one.


Another variation of original genesis game


Different games also came in different cart size/ shape, eg. EA games have more like a square shaped cart and a yellow tab on the left side.


Ori EA Games


Also Sonic & Knuckles have bigger and different shape than normal due to its special functionality.


Ori Sonic 3 on top of Sonic Knuckles cart combined together

The above examples are all only for GENESIS cart. For MD Japan, Asia and Euro/ AUS PAL will have a slightly different features (eg. Logo will be MD, Megadrive, etc).

I guess that pretty much explains everything dy

3rotor, nice catch on Bare Knuckle III. Also notice you have Valis III and Daimakaimura.

Gundam, you are one crazy guy. You even collect PC Engine SuperCDs.....

I re-read this entire thread, your budget for retro gaming is RM1.5k per month? Giler arrrr!

I spent the same amount for like 6 months of gaming....

Used to, not anymore. Now I consider myself lucky if I could spend 500 a month on gaming.

oh btw - here's a small update. my experiment to disable the region lock chip on my NES to play US Top Gun 2 has failed LOL. the chip is so small

What are you going to do now? Getting a new NES?

Update with pics lah, interested to see what you are doing also

Probably. or get a clone to play the US game.

I will take pic this evening - but in summary, i got 2 games and 2 systems to add to my collection he he he
