Every ROB was packaged with a Gyromite cart. The game was sold by itself as well such as this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/Nintendo-NES-Video-Game-Gyromite-Complete-rare_W0QQitemZ2000...

JC Ex Member	Re: Wikipedia - gyromite Reply #3 - 25. Oct 2006 at 19:28 Um...so that's: Some ROBs came with Gyromite. Some ROBs came without Gyromite. Some Gyromites came with ROB. Some Gyromites came without ROB. Oh...and: All Gyromites did not come with ROBs. All ROBs did not come with Gyromites.

That was the same auction I was looking at, Hounder.

Nov 2006 at 03:23 I always thought gyromite came in the following: Deluxe Set with ROB (This was the regular box version) By itself (This was the big box version) The only reason I could think of that they might have offered a regular boxed version is for people who may have lost or broken their copies...

Okay, the timing here is perfect:

Last night in Game History class, my instructor brought in his ROB like he said he would. But he brought in the whole Deluxe Set box!! Shocked

I was impressed as he still had the games in their original boxes! Shocked

The system even came with an extra 72 pin connector. This was the first time I've ever seen a working ROB in action - & yeah, pretty lame, but still interesting. Of course, people in the class were being idiots. Angry

I can imagine. I think people are just taught to hate on things, doesn't matter if they're new or old, but it helps if it's something dated. I play my NES on the big screen in my store and about 1/4 of them respect and enjoy, 1/2 ignore and the last 1/4 wonder why I'm not playing a PS2 game; why I'd hook that antique up

There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea is asleep and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea is getting cold. Come on, Ace, we've got work to do.
