Does anyone here have an original MVS PB/BM cartridge? I bought one a while back, and it looks quite a bit different than other games I have and have seen. The case is white plastic with an area on one side with an indented rectangle with an embossed SNK lettering, with an embossed G after that.

Is it an original, or a bootleg?

I have an English cart which is legit and the casing is clear. My Gururin has the white case you describe.

The SNK-G case is the Japanese Rental case. Basically they were used as a way to get games into arcades without paying the full price... like blockbuster for Arcades wink It doesn't mean it is a bootleg, the only way to tell is to open it up and look at the boards,

I never knew that the white carts were Rental carts..Sheesh I learn something everyday.

My PB/Bust A Move has factory soldered Eproms,clear case..
My Gururin is a Black cart,original label with original boards..no eproms.

Here's the white cart you speak of..
My Japanese King of Fighters 94..Original boards/no eproms.
