Any help would be great, as I would like to know if it original or not.
Thanks

juging by those 3 eproms, i'd say it's a boot.
can you post some pics of the char board?

Looks like a boot to me. Not only does it have those EPROMS, it's got one of those MX chips I've seen in several boots...

That is a bootleg. :rolleyes:

Eproms, MX chip for the P1....

Original Neo Bomberman uses Toshiba chips. Original cart has security foil tape on the side of the cart with a serial number. There is no serial on the label end. Here's mine (I'm not opening it but I can see through the slot vents that the PROG PCB has Toshiba chips).

A real beauty!

Was this cart only made with a Japanese label?

So they say, but I think it also had a euro release (I have no proof of this though) since it will display only Spanish on a Euro bios. Perhaps there are some spanish copies of this game around as well?

Official released as a Japanese MVS kit only. Anything else should be suspect. I've got a bootleg that was sold to me by Aslan11 when I started buying MVS titles. I assumed it was real. I found out later that it was a boot and that Aslan11 is a known bootleg seller. Here are pics of the bootleg boards (note the thin sheet of plastic. It was placed between the boards so as to keep the roms from touching the PROG PCB. The ROMS are quite tall):

The MVS case label was also odd. The name printed on the label is:

MN? A Minnesota version?!?! wink

Tip, care to sell me that blockhead? I have Gumby and Pokey, have yet to find a blockhead, being a casual toy collector I'm just always looking for stuff I like. On the topic, I'm looking for a normal MOTU Battlecat, so if anyone knows where to find either of these two toys online, let me know.

I also got a bootleg from Aslan11. He sells Puzzle Bobble/Bust a Move carts on Ebay almost constantly, and I assume now all of them are bootlegs. The one I got is apparently a converted Power Spikes II cartridge, as under the Puzzle Bobble label(which he tries to make look original but fails miserably) it had an original PS II label and SNK silver seal sticker. The cartridge itself is white plastic...were the original PS II carts white?

Curious..Question..Since you have the high chips on tha bootleg cart and have to use that plastic..to seperate them..,,
Would the cart work if you turned over one of the boards..The 2 boards would have the chips facing out...
Say you turned the bottom board upside down so the chips faced down and had the top boards chips facing up..
I don't even kno if the cart's casing would close..
But I wonder if it would work..

All this talk about Neo Bomberman is making me want to buy a copy for my collection!

Anyone have a genuine copy for sale?
