I just found it for $50 -- $10 more than you got it, but it there's an option for getting the original F-Zero, Space Invaders, or Super Star Wars sealed in the original packaging and never opened for $15!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

While the FC Twin is Super Famicom compatible, two plastic tabs in the cartridge slot prevent them from fitting. These tabs must be removed- or otherwise worked around- to play Super Famicom titles. Similar tabs are used in the American Super NES. Note that it is not PAL compatible in any way as so a universal adapter is necessary to play PAL games.

Ruh roh. Using a Dremel tool to file plastic bits off of an SNES cartridge doesn't sound like my idea of fun, or like it would do anything to help the lifespan of the cartridge.

Whoops, my mistake. Still, I don't like the ideas of "working around" plastic tabs when dealing with electronics.
