A 1993 North American cart from HeartBeat that now sits among the priciest US carts.

Outback Joey was released in North America in 1993, developed by Western Technologies and published by HeartBeat.

Before you buy

Among US carts it is among the priciest. It is worth a careful look at the cart before you pay: a Western cart has no notch in its shell, and for a copy at this price you should ask for a photo of the board. A complete copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
