Either I'm using Atarimania's search engine incorrectly or that cart isn't on there.

Nope, it aint there.
It is only the second third funvision game found in such a casing as far as I know - the other two have been found on 'winter vacation' carts

In that case, congrats on the holy grail pangasinan.

Thanks!

If more of these casings show up, I will make a seperate category.

Pangasinan, could you make a better scan of it?

What sort of cart is that? Is it an SS or something unique?

Then I would say these really should have their own category...

If you were going to create a new category just because this is in a different casing, then wouldn't you need a seperate category for t-handles, and another for v-cases?
I'd still prefer to see them all in the one category as they are now.
Rom - is there a search function for t-handles... Menavision, tron, funvision, ultravision etc

These already exist.

Search in the Label / Box window here:

Its not just the casing, its the fact that the label is different also.

Pang, since the screw hole is showing, is it possible to open the cart up and see the pcb?

It looks to be a standard label with the end label placed above it. What is so special?
Don't get me wrong, it's a great find.

It doesn't look like the V case label, but like a Vulture Attack T handle label with the title cut off and replaced by an end label.

Looking at Atarimania, there are various categories for Funvision including T handle and V cases, so why not these?

Pang, is there an end label on this too?

Yes there is a end label,the same as the one on the front.

right, I see what you are all talking about now - I didn't notice the sub-categories within the funvision category - i thought we were talking about new categories alltogether.:ponder:
