Topic: Zelda II bootleg?

I purchased a complete copy of Zelda II for less than $40 on eBay but the Nintendo label seems a bit distorted. There are other complete copies of this game selling for $100 and the Nintendo label is not as distorted. Did I buy a pirated copy?

@Don Without photos we can't tell. But one thing to look for is that on the label there should be number etched in the paper.

@Zuljaras
Thanks for the tip, I’ll check for the number on the label. I’ll post a photo of the cartridge later.

I recall it being a good video. I think they also make recommendations for finding & buying older cartridge games, too.

Zelda 2 goes for $100? Even $40 is insane. What color? I have both gold and grey.

Time to cash in I guess.

@Don estarland.com is respectable. In the above video or another, Metal Jesus/Kelsey Lewin mention a few respectable stores for buying classic games. eStarland is one of them. The store is located in the western DC burbs. I've been there and ordered from there myself. It's part warehouse, part office building, and their retail area is packed lots of great stuff, and VERY organized. I was impressed.

For classic games they can have multiple buying options, from cart only to Complete(used) = cart/box/manual.
