Micro Machines for the NES is an unlicensed game that can show some obvious graphical glitches even on official Nintendo hardware. The above video was not captured on a 2nd-rate NES clone or through an inaccurate emulator. I captured it through a real Famicom with an HVC-CPU-07 motherboard and revision E CPU and PPU chips.

It is the revision E and older PPU chips which lack a certain feature which Micro Machines relies on to get stable graphics in its title and menu screens. Most front loading NESs and almost all top loading NESs use revision G CPUs and PPUs, making it unlikely to show up on US consoles. Revision E CPU and PPUs are commonly found on pre-GPM Famicoms and are often found on Twin Famicoms.

These older Famicoms have a jailbar issue due to an electrically noisy video output path from the PPU to the RF modulator. My system does not have a composite mod, I am recording this through a VCR set to channel 95. The VCR is converting the RF to composite video/audio, which is going to my capture device.
