...when you hit up the local video game store two blocks away, browse through the NES carts. You notice a gem; Gyromite, so you check the back - [!] - five screws means an early cart, check the pins [!] - they look asymmetrical [!!]. Pay the man at the counter $4 and take this bad boy home. Throw some tea in the keurrig and grab a screwdriver - start disassembling this. Anticipation rising. Last screw is out, I slowly take apart the cartridge to reveal.......

No famicom adapter. Fuckin' A.



My only solace is the myriad of eBay auctions for 5-screw Gyromites selling for $40!?!? Okay, I guess...[off to make a listing]
