A friend gave me this game and I know that the original version is worth about 100 dollars, but this version I do not know what price can reach ... Any ideas?



Gameplay of the cartridge:

It is definitely a prototype. My guess would be $200-$300. There was a similar one that sat on eBay for a while. I'm not sure, but I don't think that one sold. I don't follow pal prototypes as closely I do NTSC.

Edit: I just read your description in the protoculture forum. Known differences will boost the value. The cooler the differences the bigger the boost.

Interesting, though, I watched the vid and even though the label has Germany written on it, the cart looks completely like the NTSC cart.  Is there a chance that this was outsource developed in Germany and, possibly, this cart was sent to the US for distributor review and/or final testing?

It is definitely possible. I have seen it the other way, where it was labeled NTSC, but was PAL. I doubt it though. The lockout chip is PAL B. Also it is hero turtles.

Sound differences could be due to a mismatch between system and cart. For example NTSC system and PAL cart. OP, what type of system did you test this on?

It is hard to tell, but that looks like several pictures of the same cart. I would love to see pictures of all four of them.

Being PAL definitely hurts the value.
