I clicked on it anyway to see what games were included and in the description it says Crazy Taxi, Speed Devils, Rainbow six, and 2 others pictured. I scroll down to see what else there was and in the very blurry pic I first notice Shenmue (pretty sweet but I already have a copy), but then I look closer and when I see what the other game was I couldnt text the number fast enough!
First off, A very clean Dreamcast with the common games, the controller got attacked by a dog at some point:

Then what I would have gladly paid the asking price for by its self:

Discs and case are all in excellent shape! The outer sleeve is a bit worn but I dont mind. I find it pretty interesting that they had a Retail Boot disc for playing. The price you ask for this sweet find.... $35 whole US Dollars.
Great find! Nice that you also got the import loader. I bought mine new at Gamestop here in the U.S. years ago. A one time deal, a shame Gamestop does not import games for sale anymore. Dreamcast PAL Shenmue II with Japanese Speech seems to play more "authentic" then the first Shenmue.

the Ethernet to usb you got recently at book off. I don't have anything to use this cable with just bought on a whim. Your adapter is actually useful. I was joking

Sell it if you're tempted to open it. There's plenty of folks who search for that sealed stuff.
Yeah, if you want to play it, sell your copy and use some of the money to buy an already used one. That way you get to play, and have some leftover money as well.

One of my local Goodwill's has a dining room table sized shallow bin of loose toys near the checkout, and I usually give it a quick once over before I leave or make a purchase. I unexpectedly found a loose, black, unlabeled cartridge whose only clue was "Mattel Inc. 1979". I figured "why not?" for 50 cents. Turns out to be an Intellivision game, about the only major console I do not have, nor plan on getting.
Anyone know if there is a way to identify it without a label? I opened it and Googled some numbers that were on the two ROM chips but got nothing. Thinking about putting it on Ebay for $5 with a creative description, maybe someone will want to spend a fiver on the mystery cart.

Might help if you post a pic of the PCB and all the numbers
Maybe seek someone with an Intellivision, just in case a rare cart?
