You might want to try contacting Paul from SimplyNes (http://simplynes.emucamp.com/). He's got a few of them listed on the site.

[jajaja]

Snow Brothers do excist atleast. 99% sure of that. Seen it on ebay.de sometimes.

Pro A.M II also. Was released by Bergsala.

Dont know about Miracle Piano, but I have seen ads for it included in NES games I've bought from Germany.

Heros Quest, was that game released at all? I thought it only made it to prototype.

[anagrama]

Also, isn't Linus Spacehead's Cosmic Crusade just the American version of Cosmic Spacehead?

[hydr0x]

yeah i know, i can't find a picture at all though :/



Pro A.M II also. Was released by Bergsala.


ugh, i did search tradera.com (scandinavia got so many games no one else got) but i couldn't find this one. At least now i know where to search



Dont know about Miracle Piano, but I have seen ads for it included in NES games I've bought from Germany.

i even have the product-code for this one, but i have yet to see it



Heros Quest, was that game released at all? I thought it only made it to prototype.

yeah that's what i'm wondering too, i know about the proto, but somewhere someone mentioned a final version, that's how it got on the list, very unlikely it exists though

[hydr0x]

Also, isn't Linus Spacehead's Cosmic Crusade just the American version of Cosmic Spacehead?

yeah i think so, but i'm not 100% sure and i haven't found a pic of Cosmic Spacehead too (it was already hard to find Mig-29 and Firehawk as they are not on ebay right now)

[jajaja]

Ye, I'm looking for Pro AM II PAL-B myself, but havnt found it yet. Seems to be damn hard to find :(

I've also seen Snow Brothers PAL before, so I'm sure it exists. As for the Miracle Piano, I've seen the keyboard for auction on the German eBay a while back. I thought it was an import from the US, though.

As for those Codemasters games, I think you can scrap them all off the list. I'm quite sure that only the following four Codemasters games were released in the UK:

Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy
Micro Machines
Super Adventure Quests
Super Sports Challenge

I will let you know if I come across any of the other games from that list.

-Speedy

[Cauterize]

Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy
Micro Machines
Super Adventure Quests

Definately right, as i own these ones...

However Micro Machines & Dizzy are Plug Thrus...

So are there both Cart and Plug thru versions of Codemasters games?

[Speedy_NES]

For Micro Machines, Dizzy, and Super Sports Challenge there are both plug-thru versions as well as the black cart versions. I'm not sure about Super Adventure Quests though. I've never come across a plug-thru version of that one.

-Speedy

[Ruudos]

I own Snow Brothers PAL (it has the NOE-tag).
There's a French and a German version of the Miracle Piano. I own the German set.

I think most of those game on that list weren't released in Europe or Australia (Shadow Warriors 3?)

[Damon Plus]

WWF Superstars of Wrestling is the Wrestlemania we all know (and most hate).

[Speedy_NES]

By the way, do you already have TMHT: Tournament Fighters on your PAL NES list? I used to think it didn't exist (most guides only list it as released in the US), but I just won a copy of the game (PAL B) off the Dutch eBay.

Yep, tournament fighters was also released by Bergsala, pretty sure of that. Remember reading a preview of it in the official Nintendo magasine over here :)

Shadow Warrior 3 would be Ninja Gaiden 3. I dont think it was released as PAL. Too bad, because I love the Ninja Gaiden trioligy. Altho, N.G 3 isnt that good so no big loss, but still..

[TheRedEye]

yeah that's what i'm wondering too, i know about the proto, but somewhere someone mentioned a final version, that's how it got on the list, very unlikely it exists though

The game was never released. I sold a prototype cartridge that seemed to be near-final code for a PAL version to someone on this forum (postermen, maybe?), maybe that's where your confusion is coming from.

dear god please, please don't spread wrong info if you are not sure, thx for trying to help me, but if you are not sure don't say so

these Codemasters games also exist

Firehawk
Mig-29

and i'm pretty sure about Cosmic Spacehead too

[hydr0x]

So are there both Cart and Plug thru versions of Codemasters games?

yep, at least of some, i know for sure about Micro Machines and Sports Challenge iirc, also Dizzy

[hydr0x]

I own Snow Brothers PAL (it has the NOE-tag).
There's a French and a German version of the Miracle Piano. I own the German set.


could you please send me a picture of both?? one where it's 100% clear that it's a PAL version. I do of course trust you on this, but i need picture proof, as always ;)

[hydr0x]

WWF Superstars of Wrestling is the Wrestlemania we all know (and most hate).

so what the heck does this mean???? i have no clue what you are trying to tell me.....

@TMHT Tournment Fighters

lol, you won the ebay.nl loose cart? ;) yeah, i knew about the game

[hydr0x]

no, my confusion comes from a statement i read somewhere that tha game was released, but i'm pretty sure that guy was wrong

[Speedy_NES]

@TMHT Tournment Fighters

lol, you won the ebay.nl loose cart? ;) yeah, i knew about the game

Yea, I did :) Passed the auction up the first two times it was listed, because of the price, but went for it the third time. I didn't see a single other copy of this game on any European eBay in the past 3 months, so I figured it has to be very rare. ;)

-Speedy

[hydr0x]

yeah it seems to be quite rare, if it had been a complete copy i might have bid on it, but not lose 8-)

[Damon Plus]

WWF Superstars of Wrestling is the first Wrestlemania. I meant that most people hate that game LOL The only game not released here was King of the Ring (I think thats the name).

Could you send me pics of those games? I've never seen any other Codemasters games than the four I mentioned, except for US-released Camerica versions on the UK eBay.

huh? i have no idea what you mean, here's a list of PAL WWF games i know, which one do you mean?? none of them is called like that

WWF King of the Ring
WWF Wrestlemania
WWF Wrestlemania Challenge
WWF Wrestlemania: Steel Cage Challenge

do you mean WWF Wrestlemania? unfortunately i don't have that game and no rom exists so i can't check if it has an in-game subtitle "Superstars of Wrestling", but there ain't one on the box/cart

Ye.. remember playing Mig-29 at a friends house. I have no idea where he got it, but it worked on a PAL-B NES and I doubt he had modified it. It was like 15 years ago and we didnt even knew about this then. Unless he had the very first NES that didnt have a lockout chip.

Thanks :)

Nice to know that more are out there. For those interested, Cosmic Spacehead and Ultimate Stuntman are also listed here:

http://simplynes.emucamp.com/collection.html

Maybe he will be able to supply some pics of those two.

-Speedy

[hydr0x]

yeah i forgot Ultimate Stuntman, i already knew about that one and have proof of it...

The first Wrestlemania is obviously WWF Wrestlemania, but that Superstars of Wrestling title is not on the game AFAIK. Probably it was a subtitle they gave it before releasing the game. One thing is for sure, it´s not a unknown Wrestlemania game.

[hydr0x]

heh? i still don't get which one you mean

which of the WWF games do you mean when you say "Superstars of Wrestling"?? and is that title on the box/manual or just in-game??

[Damon Plus]

You have WWF Superstars of Wrestling listed on your first message. That Superstars of Wrestling is probably a never used subtitle for WWF Wrestlemania, the first game on the series released for the Nes.

[hydr0x]

I have the PAL version complete,at first i bought the cart later the box and 2 manuals,one original b&w manual (like TMHT 1) and 1 colour manual original,dunno if it came with 2 manuals but i have 2 for TMHT Tournament Fighters.

[hydr0x]

heh that's interesting

i had hoped for your input too, do you have anything on that list?? if so please send me a pic 8-)

Not bad man! Interesting discovery ;) Are the two manuals identical aside from the color difference? Do they carry the same country code? I have found a similar case for the unlicensed US version of Tengen Pac-Man. I have one black and white manual, and one color manual (both original)...the only difference aside from the color is Tengen's address on the back of the manuals, so they were obviously from different time periods. I would think that that is unlikely for the TMHT Tournament Fighters game, though, as it was one of the later releases for the NES, and it doesn't seem to have been sold in large quantities. If you ever come across an extra box and/or manual(s) for the game, please let me know. I would really like to have this game complete as well ;)

By the way, another loose copy of Tournament Fighters went up on the German eBay today for cheap...I should've waited ;)

-Speedy

[hydr0x]

yeah saw the one on ebay.de too :)

i noticed another interesting thing lately, it was for SNES though, my german copy of Nigel Mansell World Championship (yep, the english version is named "Nigel Mansell World Championship Racing", the racing is missing in Germany) doesn't have a "Distributed by Konami" logo on the front of the box (above the Gremlin logo), every copy on ebay.de has it though :D (my copy IS distributed by konami though, the manual says so). i really don't want to know how many variations like that there are ;)

Talking about small box variations....there's a minor variation for the NES Simpsons: Bart vs Space Mutants box...one with "Matt Groening" hidden in the box art on the front, and one without. I wonder how many people other than myself knew about this one! ;)

-Speedy

[hydr0x]

thx for letting me know, did both variations come out in the Benelux? or one in Benelux and one in Germany or something like that??

[Speedy_NES]

thx for letting me know, did both variations come out in the Benelux? or one in Benelux and one in Germany or something like that??

I should've mentioned that it's for the NTSC version of the game ;) But it wouldn't surprise me if the same variation can be found for the PAL version. As for the NTSC version, the box with Matt Groening on the front box art was the revised one, as it's part # had the -1 at the end. I'll try and find out if the variation exists for the PAL version as well.

-Speedy

Indy Heat was also released as PAL, I think I've got a picture of it on my PC. If I find it, I'll send it to you.

In Holland it came with two manuals, one in German (in color) and one in Dutch (in b-w). This was also the case with Nigel Mansell's World Championship. I'm sure about this because a friend of mine bought Nigel Mansell new when it was released, same goes for Tournament Fighters. I own both manuals for both games.

right, can't believe i got it that cheap, it actually was a relisted item, didn't get any bids first time 8-)

i'm quite sure in 5 years nes collectors will ask me how i got it and i can tell, oh well, it was on ebay, got it for 10 bucks LOL

@Speedy

ebay Spain once again, damn, the spanish are bastards, they get all the rare stuff :P

[Ruudos]

No waiting for the German and French version to pop up.

BTW, I'm surprised to see a PAL City Connection.

[hydr0x]

BTW, I'm surprised to see a PAL City Connection.

indeed, it's on ebay spain for like 20 bucks w/o shipping, without manual, if i had the money i'd buy it but i already bought some other stuff (incl. Whirlo for the SNES, hehe) and can't afford that right now ;)

[NESaholic]

Sorry for the late reaction,as far as i remember they are identical.I have everyhting packed up at the moment and will have to check later on this and make some pics.To be continued....
