How to Tell if a SNES Game is Pirated or Fake

Welcome to the world of the counterfeit. I ran into a pirated copy of TMNT Tournament Fighters and thought I'd spread a lesson on identifying fake cartridges to the masses. Checklist: 1. Check the label. Blurryness, incorrect art, ink smearing and misalignment are all red flags for a aftermarket label and thus a red flag for a counterfeit game. 2. Check the game housing for poor manufacturing, misalignment, missing screws, or plastic mold snap-off spot where it was broken from the manufacturing mold. Another red flag, but not totally a smoking gun. 3. Look good and hard at the PCB board (green board). You'll need to open the game here, but if you see Glop top chips and you're not holding a Starfox cart, cry foul. Also check the model numbers of the black eeprom chips that are on the board. If you find the type on your board for sale on the internet, you have a fake game. If you come up with no results, you may be in the clear. Finally look for the Nintendo logo on the PCB, every legit game I've seen has had "Nintendo" printed on the PCB itself in white or gold lettering. Inspecting the PCB for these issues may be the only smoking gun you can get, but all the items in the guide can be red flags.
