It would be a shame for you to miss playing it just because it is technically illegal. It's not really any more illegal than playing a rom and I'm sure everyone has played those before. The only people that should be even mildly worried about the legalities are the people making the repros not the people buying them.
I understand where you are coming from. This has really has me feeling better, and reconsidering. I really don't want to miss out on a game thats supposed to be so good like EarthBound NES.
It's not like I made the repro cart, so it isn't like I'm the one pirateing games. I wouldn't be making any money, infact loseing money by buying the cart.
Because of that, I don't feel like anyone who buys repros has anything to worry about. Just the sellers themselves if anything, like you said.
If it were a ROM I'd feel weird, because it just seems wrong.
If this were something like copys of newer games like burnt XBOX 360 games for example, it's wrong and illegal both ways, because there still in stores.
But not with twenty year old games, especially ones that was never even in stores like this one.
Also it's not illegal to own bootleg games, it's just illegal to make the said games, and isn't this the same thing?
Like Nintendo sued Tengen for their carts (not really bootleg, just unoffical) but didn't sue all of the people that went out and bought Tengen games.
I might put it on my Christmas list after all, still thinking about it.
But enough about me. Do you have a NES EarthBound cart? and if so what do you think about it?
