There are quite a few. Here is a link to a bunch of them (you'll have to look through the entire thread)

Signing off soon, so I don't have time to look through that other thread, but...

I have a boxed NES (Control Deck) that's dark blue with stars (white dots here and there) on the background. I'm starting to think it's one of the later boxes. There were also versions with the pack-in game featured on the outside of the box. Wasn't there another version like this without the stars?

Hmm.

the one i have(that we've had since i was 3!) came with a robot(long gone after batteries inside leaked acid), a grey gun(which we lost while moving), an NES(which I still have), Gyromite(still have, never got to play it with the robot but I remember being mesmerized watching my dad play it), and Duck Hunt, which I didn't have much use for not having a gun, and we left it in our old house(which burnt down) @_@

oh, and two of those original square-shaped controllers, both of which stopped working from overuse. we replaced it with one of those snes-like controllers thats worked faithfully to this very day. of course, I've learned to take much better care of my games/controllers/systems since then.

The NES itself is whats the most amazing. It's stood almost 20 years of hard use, nothing has been replaced, it's even been thrown out a window!(not by me) you wouldn't even know this from looking at it, alls it had to show of it is a tiny chunk missing from one of the corners. oh and it works great! one tough little unit!

On a related note, what about NES game boxes? The official ones, mind you, not the unlienced ones.

I can think of three different 'major' varations, not counting the ones that some companies like Capcom did

1) Original run -- old NES seal of quality.
2) Middle run -- new NES seal of quality.
3) Late run -- have 'Nintendo Entertainment System' printed in black letters on a red bar on the top front of the box.
