A pointless topic perhaps but I hate EA cartridges and was wondering how many of the Road Rash games are available in normal (non EA cartrides). I know the RR2 cart is normal in the US but what about RR1 and RR3?

I don't really know, but the Brazilian releases might be.
I know for a fact that there is a brazilian version of Road Rash III in a regular cartridge. I'm not sure abou I and II, though.Quote:

Then I would bet they are as well; this is assumption, I could be completly wrong.Quote:

If you hate sqaure size cartridges so much, why don't you buy ones that has cases or box with it so it can hide sqaure size cartridges from your point view on shelf.
I just checked for it on a brazilian auction site and there was no brazilian version of Road Rash I and II up for auction. This doesn't mean that they don't exist. I have no idea about Road Rash II, but I'm almost sure that there is no brazilian version for the Road Rash I. I think it was released too early to be available here as a local release.Quote:

Be aware that all three games have been pirated to Hell and back, so if you see one in a normal case it may very well be counterfeit.
You're right about that, but I have my ways to identify an original Tec Toy cartridge, as I have seem many of them during my life.Quote:

I don't have it anymore, I've sold about 2 weeks ago, but I can post pictures if anyone is interested.
Actually, the original Road Rash was released in Japan by Electronic Arts Victor... unfortunately all I have at the moment are box pics, not cart pics :/ However, there are three EA games that were released in Japan on normal carts: Blockout, Populous, and Sword of Sodan — Sega published these.

I own RRII in regular cart, but I've never even seen 1 or 3 on regular carts. If either exists I'd like to know because I don't like playing those big EA carts on my portable.
Not a pic, but Mark shows off the cart at 0:53.Quote:

Yep, I own Road Rash along with Crue Ball and John Madden Football, all three are in EA style cart shells and slightly wider clamshells.Quote:

hmm!
i didnt think any EA game came in anything other than the large format cases?! cool
OK, wait, I'm confused. So Road Rash II came out in the United States using BOTH form factors, right? Did the cardboard box release have anything to do with Majesco?
I've had two loose copies and they've both used the standard cart shell, but I have a sleeve for the game that wants to fit into the larger, EA-style wide case.
Yes, they are Majesco releases. All three EA "Strike" games were reprinted like that as well.Quote:

I'd hunt down the small carts when it comes to EA games - those yellow tabs are a fucking pain when it comes to opening the casing to give the board a clean.
Yeah, I store my loose carts in cassette holders. The EA carts are too damned tall.Quote:
