Need the name of this one:

(cough) -- I know, I'm impatient.

The first one looks like an anime game or a Nekktsu series game, but hmm...

The yellow cart is Rygar, I think. I haven't cued it up yet to be sure, but the image on the front of the cart is of Rygar jumping over two of those evil turtle things.

Right.

You said it's a racing game? Sounds nice, any screenshots?

Since no one else is poping up with information, it's definately "downtown-nekketsu-koushinkyoku-soreyuke-daiundoukai".  It's not the label or the cartridge style I'd expect, so I'm definately thinking pirate...  

This one's the 1990 one that came right after the one we know as river city ransom. The real copies go for like $30 bucks cart only so it's a nice one to have.  

Damn, I'm good...*forgets the fact that he thought it was a Nekketsu game from the label...*

Looks nice. You have it too, Michael?

Figured it was a pirate because of the "sophisticated apparatus" label on the back. :) Nice to know the name. Thx.

I don't have this one, but isn't everyone a fan of the series?  :)  I always wait till I can get something dirt cheap, so $30 bucks a pop is too rich for my blood.  The downtown ones are my favorite, but the sports games are fun too...  

Don't know what a pirate would be worth -- usually less than the original cart. But I got this cart as part of an 8 game lot that included two multi-carts (32 and 84). All $22 bucks shipped. Thought it was a great BIN find, considering how much the multi-cart sell for on eBay.

It's very interesting nonetheless...

Yeah, good deal!

Hey M the G, that Nekketsu game's board is loose inside the cart -- if i try to put the game in the console/converter it slides back and won't connect. I've gotten it opened but don't know what to do with it. Superglue? Will that hurt the board?

First thought is that you should buy a game with converter (ie a NES stackup) and turn this one into a total conversion (ie stick it in the nes cart with converter)...  You can even make yourself a nice looking label.

I've done that for Goonies, Bokasaku Wars, Devil's World, Milk and Nuts, etc.  Sometimes I've transfered the chips to US circuit boards rather than waste a converter, but I've also seen a much higher glop top percentage in famicom games (and ones that don't seem to be pirates).  

As far as just fixing the game, what's broken?  Do you have a pic?  Is there a hole in the cart and a post that goes through the hole?  Is that what's broken?

I guess I don't mind MTG, but my friends call me Michael...  :)

Ok Michael:

Here's the half of the cart with everything that holds the board in place. And here's the board. See, no hole in the board. Essentially, the board balances on the two plastic "pins" on each side as well as on the circular hollow column at center. Tabs on each side hold the cart from sliding inward. One is busted -- look closely and you can see the broken piece laying near the broken tab.

I'd stick a piece of styrofoam above the cart that's just the perfect size to keep the circuit board tight.  I'd cut the styrofoam to this shape so it keeps the cart from moving side to side too:

XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX
X                X
X                X

I'd probably put a piece of non corrogated cardboard between the circuit board and the foam so that that the circuit board doesn't just slice into the syrofoam.  Usually you can cut it with a sharp pocket knife.  Make sure it's pretty stiff styrofoam.  I'd cut it slightly big so that you can smush it and it will fith perfect for extra tightness.

Thanks, Michael. I'll try it.

And I've purchased that donor, so I'll be sending it once it arrives in my mailbox.

Ok, hey you should send along that kid dracula too if you still haven't gotten it working!  :)  Unless the mapper chip has died, I can fix most problems.
