    What's the difference between this and the retail cart?

    Guess you'll have to buy it and find out.

    from the title screen it looks just the same as the original. Could just be a eprom of the standard game.

    Picture of the EEPROM board is fuzzy, but it looks like an official cart. If so it's probably a review ROM. Chances are it's the same as the retail, but if the board is official (ask fora closeup of the silkscreened lettering) it's certainly a neat piece of kit.

    Got a link to the store description? (It's understandable if you don't want to share so no one else nabs it.) ;)

    Not seeing a black cart in the pictures mate. If its just a standard sized black cart with a label that says "SAMPLE" it could be a retail ROM or it could be an EEPROM. If it's the green board in your piccy then it's an EEPROM. The retail ROM would be boring. The EEPROM would be cool.

    So am I correct in assuming that you already own it? If so, and it's convenient for you, I can assist you in (privately or for public release) dumping the cart in order to confirm one way or the other if it's a final binary or not.

    Well, by "own it", I meant that you had indeed bought it.

    if you mean "own it" = "bought it" well yes I own it now.
    though I won't be able to get my greasy fingers on it till November... :(

    on the flip side I have fair number items to pick up from her comes in November inc. another Yarouze, 3DO TRY and etc. But on the other hand I know what missus will say when she sees me bring these with me off the plane... :p

    I believe it is the same content as the retail version, unlike the gunstar heroes/dynamite headdy demo carts which differs from the retail versions

    Very nice find, thx for sharing. Hopefully you can sit down and compare them, maybe there are extra or missing stages/bosses.

    Could this be just a few stages, or is it likely a full version used for promotion?
