Looking Inside this WEIRD Super Mario / Duck Hunt NES Game 

Now THAT is how you comment. Thanks for clearing it up!

I just opened mine its apparently mines the same 88 or 90 MH

I lived in Fresno/Clovis CA area and I cleaned many combo carts like these for a retro shop . I actually hardly ever saw a glob top on these. Funny cause I thought globs were rare. Lol.

Your facts do not disappoint.

@Darryl Smith yep I do very much agree 100% 1000 % even if not more.

Yeah same here if it fell I was going to cry

evilkinggumby nah those things are built like a brick

evilkinggumby me to lolololo

evilkinggumby lol,lol,lol

300C 5.7 CB. timber

Same! That's the one that I got with my set.

I was the UNfortunate group before that who didn't get a game with the console. Then there was a group before our time of purchase that had super mario bros. Included with the control deck

James Webb This could be a hoax. But I can’t confirm nor deny.

James Webb maybe that was why the Nintendo and Mario that I bought in 1992 pretty much died completely by 2003

@@daquarlow I'll ask my Uncle. He worked at Nintendo, too.

Yes the proper term for the glop top Globe top whatever you want to call it. The proper term is cob. don't know if that should be capitalized. Or spaces between the characters whatever. but yes absolutely right it's chip on board. Same as something like a cob LED.

@@daquarlow COB/Chip-On-Board is correct. It is called that across the industry, not just in Nintendo games. Even in a normal DIP (Dual In-Line Pin package) the “chip” is actually a silicon rectangle that is deeply embedded in the package. They connect the silicon chip to a “lead frame” which is a metal rectangle with a bunch of pieces that will end up being chip legs. The lead frame is positioned around the chip and then the chip is connected to the leads/pins using a wire-bonding machine that makes extremely small jumper wires. Those connections are extremely delicate so they encapsulate it in ceramic or epoxy or plastic or whatever the chip package is made of with the pins protruding out. With the leads/pins anchored inside the package and the bond wires unable to move, the frame is broken off of the leads. The leads are then bent down so that they can fit through the PCB. Chip On Board production does away with the lead frame by using the chip with bond wires on the PCB directly. The bond wire connections to the chip and PCB are still too delicate so they still need to encapsulate it with epoxy blobs/globs. If you need to make a lot of something then it can be cheaper than getting packaged DIP chips and Nintendo certainly needed to make a lot of Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt. Millions.

"opening"

Opening? More like destroying

Hol up

Peter Parker hehe

😂That's how I'd open my cassette players.

Rinoa Super-Genius - i didn't know Nintendo ever produced glop top cartridges. Maybe that was something that happened later. I'm surprised for the completely opposite reason he is. Lol

I'm in this boat with you...

PAL or NTSC??

All my NES items are long gone. Sorry, I don't have that information for you. I can say that my original was imported from Germany. So it would probably have been pal-b noe.

hobbles79 how much would the original Zelda be the gold one that had a battery in it for memory

This would be correct. My copy is identical, and it's the one that came with my NES action set with the grey gun.

hobbles79 my Nintendo came with that same cartridge. No zapper.

My copy has the gold seal on it, but I bought it used at a game store. My original collection has disappeared.

Yeah. I think some people pull that with rental copies.

Lmfao

Or Leprechaun lol

So they completely re-engineered a new board and manufacturing process to speed up production? No thats not what you do when your behind on production.

Unless they already had em on hand in stock just collecting dust

👍🏾

depends on part suppliers and manufacturing processes.

Yep. They were common.

Dermot Sweeney This game came with the console as a packaged deal... Meaning system, two controllers, one gun controller, and the Mario/Duck Hunt combo game.

SMD's don't have to be potted (what every calls blobs apparently). The potting is so they don't need to worry about manufacturing packaging, as the epoxy potting does the trick. The potted IC's are cheaper to manufacture, hence their usage. As a side note, there are many reasons to use SMD over through-hole, though through-hole still has uses (higher power, strain relief...etc), while SMD these days is used not only because it's easier to automate, can be more dense in placement, higher layer count PCB's, but also because of electrical requirements for higher speed signals (parasitic inductance and capacitance from those long through-hole contacts).

Nope. Very few NES games used any SM components, let alone a board comprised of them exclusively. Star fox for the SNES is a great example of how your assertion is completely backwards. SF used glob top boards, but every FX game that came after it did not (though they did use soldered SM components).

Must be the Mandela effect that made you forget how to spell Mandela

@@RC-nj1by probably. XD

Great quote there dear sir. 👌

@@fikri565 yep and a thumbs up.

Thanks buddy

@@helderoliveira2994 no lol, it is MH. And hes probably not wrong about the "Mario Hunt" abbreviation, due to the fact that this chip was only ever used in the original batch of Mario duck hunt combo carts

@@JWG.LLC_The_Artist Thanks. :)

I've met a few glop tops in my life..

Glob*

RetroR0bbie I have one with the same label and same board and SMB/DH is what's on it. And I have another with the nintendo logo and the seal of quality on the bottom and it's a glob. Go figure.

Looks identical to his own copy.

Natural Progression - Super Mario World had a similar deal. The versions between the cart that came with the SNES and the separate retail versions were different. You could tell becasue the bind in the label had the name of the game centered and the other had it aligned to the right. The Boo boss in that hidden mansion level also made a different sound when hit.

Natural Progression wouldn't that be a 5 screw Cart if it was that early of a release? that is clearly a 3 screw.

nice to see someone out their who actuly knows about games and is not a person who clames to but dose not.

Settle petal.

Natural Progression Huh? When did they have an orange gun? I didn't get an NES until 1988 and mine had a grey gun.

matel console would be my guess and i doubt you can play it on a ntsc console

Why? They're exactly the same.

was just curious to see if the rom on here was a beta. could be determined by a hash check.

That would be pretty cool 😎

The glop top version are from the original run of the game

But why??

13lood13ath for that price, why not? in 40/50 years some collector may pay a lot for them.

.09 cents ≠ 9 cents 9 cents * 20 = $1.80 .09 cents * 20 = $0.018

morons, can no one do math these days? .09 x 20 =1.80 .09 x 2 = .180 .09 x .2 =.0180

smith john Thank you for confirming my accuracy

dowingba I know right, it was 99 cents twenty years ago. it's 99 cents today. probably even less than that. it's the most common cart on the nes.

spturner360 u can't buy John elways quarterback for 99 cent what are smoking lol

Yes it is actually. I see them consistently for 5-6 dollars in this shape.

dowingba you can pick these up for 99c all day long.. by far the most mass produced game for nes.. I have no idea why this guy is so amazed. They included these with your nes in later runs because they were worthless even then.

Funnily enough where I live; top gun is by far and away the most common game. I have no idea why; but I see stacks of them in almost every thrift store I walk into... Heck; I've found not one but TWO just laying about in ditches on the side of the road. that's certainly not a common occurrence; but it speaks to how prevelant that game is here

....why is that funny?

up till that point.

it sounded just like him!

Ale hahaha

Alejandro Haha

😆

Another one right before that when he said "This is interesting!" 😂

You can't really say that not so much her reply just a question. Your user image what is it and what is it from? Would like to know thanks.

so true when you compare them to the "real" famicom cards

Glob*

RGT 85_ found you here lol

Lol

SL so scared he had to move to Delaware...lol.

Only if you hold me...

Don't hug me.

No vag either

Rickard he was thinking the cart itself is a bootleg

It came with mine.

1980PainforFun you had the basic console set. they made action and pro sets that came with games.

1980PainforFun - Ya, that was probably the basic bundle sold at a cheaper price if u didn't want to get game, extra controller, gun, and robot

I think the duck hunt/SMB combo came out a few years later...I remember before the combo existed, showed up around the same time as the orange zapper instead of the original grey ones.

same

gilberto pineds he confused because there is more common version of the Mario/ duck hunt cart with the Nintendo logo on the bottom of the cart label and not in the middle. And it doesn't have Nintendo official seal of quality. Did watch the video???

All he said was that he suspected it might be because the weight felt off and the label looked weird. I could see why he would think that considering that apparently every cart he has ever held felt and looked a certain way.

Factz 💯💯💯💯

I did only get super mario 1. Still dont own the duck hunt. Maybe it was so in USA version that you got everything. But I own the pal version have only device powersupply 2 controllers and antenna converter. Then mariobros 1.

Zestypanda There is nothing in this video about if it is real or not. The point is, the interest in why the variants.

Kinda thought people already knew this.....

Also, you started the video off with you thinking it was a bootleg, hence the "It is not fake."

There was nothing about it being fake or a bootleg, just an interest about what it might be. I enjoyed the 6 minutes either way.

You are full of it if you were not intrigued when you click on this video. FULL OF IT!!!

Which is totally made up

Broken Wave maybe in this universe it is

Nope, there's two different versions of the game

Gil Mousseau yeah, that

lmfao its such bs jus ppl miss remembering easy to screw up things

Nah, I have a copy that looks different, it's not the Mandela Effect since both of them demonstrably exist I think?

Shrok'e' Make'e' wrong channel

No, it's just poor memory of something he never paid much attention to. Nothing special or mystical about it.
