So this is the last of the really odd NES Games. This version of Sky Kid is dated on the label "July/16/1987" which was a few months before the actual release of the game in the US. If you look at the image of the screen shot I took, it says "TM And 1986 NAMCO...", not sure if this is like a last version that went out to big wigs or what the case was, but I'm wonding if anyone else has or has seen a copy like this.
I know they did send out promotional copies to Magazines and things like that, but I'm just not too sure.
The other thing that seems odd about this game is the chips. It looks like they have the UV light window like the other prototype EPROMS have. This might just be ignorance on my end, but I thought I'd bring it up. The text on the board reads:
"NES-SNROM-02
1987 Nintendo"
From what I read, that means these should be Read Only, not re-programmable. Anyway, I figured I just ask since I know you guys probably all know right off the top of your heads.
Also curious about this game in general. Rarity, value, all that good stuff. Thanks again for all your help guys and gals.
