(okay. Ex-proto, as they actually burned the original ROMs back on to the cart afterwards.)
Okay. That's now two protos found in a Zelda II case (also Nintendo Power's Sim City).
I think I recall seeing a Zelda II used as a homebrew dev (one of Chris Covell's games?).
Is the game really that bad? :D |

No it isn't. Zelda fans need to stop whining about it. :P

I'm not a Zelda fan, so can I whine about it? |

Zelda II is my favourite game. Maybe people think if they put stuff in a Zelda II cartridge it will give the project good luck. |

I have two copies of Zelda II and I'm not sure why/how. |

It didn't work for Blues Brothers for the NES:
My proto is in a Zelda II case and that game STILL came out like shit  |

Poor Zelda II :(
People must've either really hated that game or used the shiny gold cartridge as a poor attempt at a trojan horse. Hoping the shiny glittering thing will get some extra magazine coverage or something before it unleashes hell on the (p)reviewer's screen. |

That is the cleanest cut eprom window i've ever seen in an NES cart though.
I have a feeling Zelda II was cheap, plentiful, and shiny. A perfect choice for any game developer with ADD. I really do wonder why they'd bother to burn the original game back on the eproms though... You'd think they could just put the original chips back in. |

My Hatris proto has a very similar super clean cut:
It's the one on the left. My Bases Loaded 2 proto wasn't as lucky, but it makes up for it with a killer highlighter paint job  |

The irony of all of this: wasn't there a big shortage of Zelda II cartridges in the U.S. for a long time, to the extent that kids were having their parents import it from Canada? |

eliminator boat dual is actually a really good game. the music can get very tiring, and that theres no continues, but after playing it a while and getting used to the mechanics i find it pretty fun. good bit of replay value due to how challenging it is. |
