Any input, Mr. Aplin?

Heh yep those particular ones are prototypes built by Galoob Toys (the US toy company we partnered with) - the bottom two PCBs are different FPGA versions (there were two different designs at one point), the top two look like dev (ram) boards for s/w development and codefinding. I recall on the Gameboy Genie there was a bit of duplication of effort on both sides of the Atlantic; everyone was _super_ keen to get a product out.

Nice find!
@ LandoXIII - Very nice! Maybe a more in depth review of this piece of history with direct closeup pics of each cart and "in game" screenshots showing the differences?
