The NES series with small boxes

[jajaja]

I'm trying to collect all NES game that came out in small boxes. These games are the early games for NES, like Super Mario, Duck Hunt, Kung Fu, Pinball etc etc..
But my question is: Do anyone have a full list of all the games that was released in small boxes? :)

[digitalpress]

I'm not clear on what you mean by "small boxes". From the titles you're listing it sounds like you're referring to the Nintendo black box titles... am I on the right track?

If so, this thread should help:

I too, am attempting to collect as many boxed pixellated label games as I can.

[jajaja]

Well.. I have 2 versions of Tennis. 1 box is normal size, with pixel grafix on the label. The other box is small, just alittle bigger than the cartridge itself and it have "real" grafix in front, not pixel like the others.

[jajaja]

I found a auction which sells Tennis with the small box
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=54958&item=8157311842&rd=1

As you see on the pic, the box grafix aint the normal pixel grafix, and its small, just about the same size as the cartridge itself :) Maybe these small boxes only came out as PAL?
I hope someone have a complete list, or atleast near complete.

THose are like the german versions or something. I have seem them before too.

[jajaja]

They where also released in skandinavia. I have a few from austria/germany. Boxes are in english, same with the game, but the manual are in german

[joshnickerson]

Must be a PAL version or something.

No. Germany definitely got the small boxes.
Youre right about the UK. Here we didn;t get them either (Holland, Belgium, France).

I think the small boxes were only released in Germany, Scandinivia, Austria and Switzerland.

I think that Hong Kong, China (?), and Korea (?) all got those small-box games as well.

[Ruudos]

Not sure. There are also normal sized boxes with the cartoony art.

[NESaholic]

I thought alot of small boxed nes games were made in Spain?On Ebay i see them quit often.

[Qixmaster]

Well regardless of where they are made or not I know these to europe small boxes to exists

Gumshoe
Ice Climber
Donkey Kong 3
Duck Hunt
Mario Bros.
Clu Clu Land
Kid Icurus
To the Earth
Punch-Out!!

and a pile of other ones. a guy on here (from germany I believe) auctioned off a ton of these. I would have bought them from him but was low on the funds then. I can't remember his name, but i am sure he knows which ones he had.

Do the Hong Kong versions work on American NES systems?

[-hellvin-]

I have some weird nes multicart in a box like that....it's like supervision or some shit. I can't get it to work in my NES though. REALLY wish I could =\.

[qbertandernie]

ive got three pirates in english and NTSC that are in crappy small boxes like that...no good art though.

one does list it as a "92' game cartridge" - whatever the hell that means.

Why wont they work? Have u modified your NES so it can play all games? U must do this! ;)

[spoon]

The Hong Kong versions will work on an American NES. I am not sure if you have to cut the lock out pin or not. I already cut mine a long time ago. Don't have a NES here that does not have it's pin cut.

The Honk Kong carts came in small box versions. The carts themselves are also a lighter shade of grey then the other 72 pin versions.

Also, I am not sure which PAL version Black box games came in the small boxes.

I myself have: Tennis, Golf, and Pinball PAL versions. Rad Racer, Pro Wrestling, and Super Mario Bros 2 Honk Kong Versions

I am pretty sure they are always PAL and always early (Black Box) Nintendo releases . I could be , and think I am , wrong on the last part.

The label arts on the Pal/Honk Kong versions are so much cooler. Why I collec them. I woudl love to find more ogf them.

[whoisKeel]

heh, never seen those before, i always liked the pixel-esqe style, but those two (tennis, smb) boxart look really cool. anybody have pics of some of the others?

[NESaholic]

Here are a few.

Great, thanks for the list :)
I got in contact with a guy on Ebay who gave me a list of 27 games. All these was in small boxes and the black series.

I was about to freak out and say don't tell me i have MORE nes game variations to get. @_@ :eek 2:

Luckily they are not NTSC

[NESaholic]

Luckily they are not NTSC

Why's that?There are some real cool pal release only games you haven't played or own then?There are some kick ass pal only games and they are licenced games so they count too IMO,alot of people,mainly us don't count pal games,there's alot they're missing i'll tell you that!

[jajaja]

Agree.. If you dont collect PAL releases also you are missing out on great stuff!

Well right now i have EXTREMELY limited resources to anywhere that is farther than a 20 minute drive as i do not have my own car and i am not old enough to have a credit card yet.
Once both of those happen i will probably break into the import scene.
Right now my focus is on US releases in coming years i think i will focus more on getting small chunks of my collection specific series,releases, companies, etc.

[NESaholic]

Ok aight i understand,but you don't need to drive anywhere,here on the forums you can always trade some or buy some.
There are enough people looking for us releases only too so that isn't a problem,maybe shipping could be for you,most of the time beween $5-$8 i think,but i for example would have to pay that too ofcourse.
If it's a good trade i wdon't bother about the shipping though.

[jajaja]

True.. you dont need to drive anywhere :) Just browse on ebay.de or ebay.co.uk for example.

There is a shop one city over that has a ton of complete NES games i have been weeding thru in their basement. That was what got me focusing on NES for now.
Once i get a job i plan on buying them all and turning them for a profit.

[suppafly]

[spoon]

If you don't pick up all of those small box variations dude, or have doubles, I would be very interested.
