Recently I "found" a version of King's Valley 2 from Konami full of great levels made by people for a contest in some japanese magazines (in 1989 I think...)
Did you hear about this before? It's really amazing...

Yes I knew about it, but recently.
It´s weird that Konami released this strange kind of game, a game with levels made by users. But I haven´t had enough time for playing it, I promise I will soon.
Did you know there´s a King´s Valley version with EDIT option in the menu screen. It came out with Konami´s Collection vol. I, disk B I think. This is even more weird!!

Nah, it seems it's identical to the RA-002 King's Valley.

Yeah, but an original is extremely hard to obtain as there are only 20 copies of it and all of them are slightly changed.

Now you can take a RC-761 cartridge, remove it's ROM, put instead a flash chip with one of those 20 ROMs on it, and sell it as an original collector's item.
What a good chance to grab a lot of money !

No, because the casing is covered with gold-paint and has an original RC-761 label on it. It's quite hard to remove the label without ripping.

No need to remove the label, just use the original RC-761 and cover it with gold paint :-)

Good luck painting around the label without painting on it. |

Bifi: do you want to say the original and contest versions of a cartridge have completely different labels ?

no, just that the casing is painted before that label is stuck on it.

Understood.
It's a hard and scrupulous work, but after that you can make your friends jealous or fool some die-hard MSX collector.
Also you can try to sell your old chair claiming you won it in Japan many years ago :-)
