Weird sticker on my game?

nightstar6999 — 2010-08-01T01:00:43 -05.0 0

So recently I got a very cool Spanish unlicensed game, La Gran Aventura Submarina by Gluk Video. Today I was going to play it and when I looked at the label, I noticed something weird, underneath the Label, there seems to be a blue label? Does anyone know what this could be?

Edit: I just looked, and the copy of it on this site has the same blue sticker? wtf http://www.nintendoage.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=NES.View&egID=2919&lgID=1263

So I played little Samson at a friends place for the first time today. Wow it is such a great game. I knew it was decent but I really enjoyed it. I just missed buying a copy of it too, someday I will get it. Anyone else have a game they just passed up/missed out on recently?

Will the value of Clash at Demonhead go up with the release of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World?

Phins — 2010-07-31T03:06:41 -05.0 0

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, which was a semi-obscure comic book series before being adapted into a major summer movie, features a band called Clash at Demonhead as a central plot point. Now, Clash at Demonhead being a stand-out and obscure NES title, is one of the more obscure references in Scott Pilgrim. It being an R4 and all, it's relatively uncommon too. This could lead to increased awareness of the game, which could lead to more sales, which could lead to less supply, thus a spike in value. What do you guys think? Plausible?

Mega Man 1

I've been hunting games down now for over 2 years and I NEVER saw this cart out "in the wild". I know it's a popular title, but so was Zelda which I've stumbled upon often.

Was this produced in a limited quantity or something?

Power adapter Question

nullending — 2010-07-30T18:49:49 -05.0 0

I was rummaging through my dad's garage and found a power adapter that had the same tip on the end as the Atari 2600. It was some other brand, but it had the same tip. I compared it to the official Atari power adapter:

Official Atari 2600 Power Adapter: 10 V, 500 mA
The one I found: 12 V, 300 mA

I figured what the hell and tried it, and it works fine. That is a pretty big difference no? Does anyone know a rough range on how much variance retro consoles can take?

Which one to keep?

Hi freaks,

While sorting my carts yesterday I found something interesting (at least to me ).

I tried to decide which version of my ice climber i should keep, so I laid them next to each other. I noticed that I got two different versions. I am not talking about the cut off flaps on one version, but some major differences.

Take a look yourself:

The left one, which I think is the newer one, got an official seal, where as the other does not. There is a difference at the carts label too: The left one got the product code at the bottom right of the sticker, where as the other does not.

There are even more obvious differences on the back of the box and the carts. Let's have a look:

The left one, which I guess is the newer version, got a barcode, where as the other one got that fancy Nintendo entertainment system logo. Then I noticed the screw count.

Sides of the boxes are the same on both boxes.

So, my questions are:

Does the carts fit the box, or did I mix them up?

Which one to keep, or shall I love both of them equally?

Why was there no seal added, and are there sealless versions of all small box games?

Just curious,

ninn

edit:

Oh, I forgot to add this: The left one is EEC, but i could not find a code on the right one. There is none. Not on the top flaps, not on the bottom flaps, not on the cart.

I was walking in a Target the other day and saw this thing:

I honestly think it's a great idea! I just hope some kids don't buy it and prick themselves more than they need to!

Looks to be from the N64 era due to the Nintendo logo. Does anyone have any other information on it?
