Great score Jone, of all the N64 test carts I've only seen 1 or 2 REV B ones. They made a lot of revisions for the other test carts too, most of the SNES ones have at least 4 revisions (A-D) with a few more number variations as well. NES has a couple revisions as well such as the Port test cartridge, the 5 screw variant had a correction to the ROM from a error that used to crash the REV A cartridge.
Thanks for chiming in, I knew you'd have some good Test cart info to add.  I don't go after all of the NES / SNES ones (too many of them), but I've always cared about he N64 one since that's my favorite platform.  Maybe I'll have to expand my horizons!

Here Jone I thought you would get a kick out of this, the worlds lamest and laziest test cartridge!  Sad thing is that it is offical too!

I notice the REV B label is cut noticeably smaller than the original.

Yes I gather that game quality doesn't factor in collecting, I just couldn't help but comment. I noticed this as well, the coloring is also a bit more purple than blue.  However, in comparing to known copies, I've seen the "small label" style on both the Rev A / B carts, and the "big label" style on both as well.  So in reality, I'd consider Rev A / Rev B to be the major variant and perhaps there are 2 minor variants (big / small label) within each copy.

I wouldn't expect the market to value the label sizes differently but Rev B should command a significant premium over Rev A on rarity for sure. ]]> The Elusive Rev B N64 Test Cart http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=148213 2015-06-10T23:30:23 -05.00 jonebone 20
