what kind of price region?  I may be able to find you one quickly.  I may even have one myself actually.

I should probably build a couple of these with the Sunsoft mapper sound chip conversion, assuming I can find the schematics again. It's quite time consuming, and not at all practical in terms of selling them (i.e. time spent vs. expected return), but they may make a some people happy.  :bomb:

I'm not sure why, seeing that you own legitimate copies of 'Gimmick!', as I recall, although I may very well be mistaken. I was figuring on making a few of the modified versions and giving them away as promotional items (e.g. with sales of or over a certain value) at some point: There's no realistic way to profit from building them, given the sheer amount of work involved versus the cost of buying a legitimate copy and the lack of demand for hand-made versions. Either way, it certainly won't happen before the springtime. I'm still recovering and catching up on my to-do list from the Summer.  :bomb:
