Last month’s SOTM got me wanting a cart of R-type III. Great game, I should have owned this a long time ago.
But the US cart is really expensive now, and I’m not fond of the label art they chose.
I had a friend pick me up an SFC cart on his Japan trip for $46 (¥7510 jpy)
I transplanted the pcb into a spare US cart shell I had laying around, printed up a holographic version of the SFC cart art in SNES (black framing) format and threw it on the cart.
Now it looks good collecting dust on the shelf with my other carts.
I also prefer the SFC version for seeing the IREM logo on bootup. Never sat right with me seeing the Jaleco logo on the SNES release.
