Well this thread has opened my eyes. My copy of Earthworm Jim 2 which I bought myself at Toys R Us at the very tale end of the SNES lifespan - probably about 1998 - is one of these Majesco carts. Thankfully I take care of my shit so it's still basically pristine.
Now that unglossed label has always bothered me. Anyone know if there's some sort of adhesive film which I can apply to the label to preserve it?

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 16 01:38:02 2019 No.5885621 the cool thing about the majesco games are that the PCBs that I've seen are identical to real nintendo. so only the rest of it is cheaped out

All YouTube videos for simple shit is like this, it's such a fucking pain in the ass. It's like when you click on a "how to configure (specific controller for specific retro game)" video and the configuration piece of the video takes maybe 3-5 minutes but he spends the first 10 minutes of the video telling us about his setup, his experience, the history of the game, like man I don't give a fuck just tell me about what the title of the video says.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 16 11:16:23 2019 No.5886281 >>5885917 They do this to get their watch hours up. If you don't hit a certain amount of hours, I think it's 4,000 in one year, then you don't get monetization. Money ruins everything.

Sad thing is that it comes back to the same harsh truth, the youtube retro vidya community is mostly cancer, thanks to posers who clearly jumped in for attention and having some sort of power and control over it.

Real gamers despise these people.

I haven't watched the video, but is it basically
"Majesco obtained the rights to reprint certain SNES games. Instead of a precautions sticker on the back shell, the text is molded directly into the plastic. The front label sticker is not glossy and of a lower quality than the original releases. Some Majesco carts didn't even have an artwork label, but instead a plain, text-only label."
