Video Game "Look what I found"
Re: Video Game "Finds of the Day"
As far as I can tell, there are no outward differences. You CAN tell by the weight, but I wouldn't rely on that alone. It weighs just under an once more with the adapter inside. But you can tell by looking at the pins. Comparing the weight to another cart just confirms it.

Thanks! Good to know about the weight comparison.
I read somewhere about center of gravity finger balance trick.
A great find!

Re: Video Game "Finds of the Day"
I bought a nice copy of Ikaruga for GC for $19. ?Not sure if that is a deal or not but I know it used to go for more. I also have Ikaruga on XBLA but now I have a hard copy.

It really pisses me off that PSN hasn't released Ikaruga yet and probably won't

It's pretty hard to tell, but the printing of the purple on the label is a little different color too. I have 2 adapter Gyromite carts, but no normal one and I can't remember which type is more blue and which more purple. It's hard to tell though.

You're right. The ROB robot icon in the lower left corner is definitely a different shade of purple. I have two other copies that don't have adapters, so I just compared it. Still, I think the easiest way to identify it is by looking at the pins.

Without opening the cart? Ziggy or Hobie can you post comparison pics?

I bought a complete copy today for $17.I got mine here on b/s/t forums last week for $25, but it was in very good condition.
I found mine here as well. With a BBA adapter.
