Take a picture of the back of the cart.



The back may not tell us anything though.  Back swaps are fairly commonplace these days.  That said, it's still worth taking a pic to see what's there.

Back swaps are only common among collectors, not regular-folk.  And since the odds of a back swap happening before this cart fell into the op's hands is next to nill, a picture of the back will may show us who  manufactured the cart.

Huh?  How could it not?  Every licensed cart names the company of manufacture on the back...

The odds are slim, but it's still possible a back swap happened somewhere over the course of the last 20ish years.

I'm interested in the back, too. I always figured NES cartridges were always manufactured in Japan, unless of course, they were unlicensed or pirated.
A handful of late-era licensed games were manufactured by publishers other than Nintendo.  I'd have to look at my own carts to be sure, but I would think that not all of those companies would have had their games produced in factories in Japan.
