Retro Game of the Week 020: Mega Man X(SNES)

A pirate cart inside look 002: Supervision cart

Well I had some people look at this cart for a while and help me find some info on it. Supposedly the supervision series of NES looking carts mostly came with their adapter with Famicom boards connected to them. This is one reason why most of them are very heavy. Also, Supervision multi-carts are very unique in a way that they vaguely have any doubles...
