Ken Layton:
I doubt you will find that tool locally.

MCM Electronics (www.mcmelectronics.com) has the correct tool as their stock number 22-1145.

I dont know what diamter the hole is that the screw is in but you should be able to use the biro trick.

Heat a biro up (or something plastic just big enough to fit down the hole) with a lighter etc until the plastic is molten and then jam the pen etc down the hole and over the screw. Wait for a few minutes for the plastic to set and then you should be able to unscrew the screw.

You may be able to use your new biro 'tool' to unscrew other NES games or you may have to melt the plastic for each one. If the screws are too solid this may not work but its worth a try before you go and spend any money. I used the same method to remove the screws from an N64.

I have one of those bits. I think I originally bought it from Lik-Sang before they shut them down. Or maybe Ebay.

So what's wrong with buying it from ebay?
