Damm this is a real nice collection. Are you from germany or holland? How long did it take you to complete the whole small box collection? Was it hard or not?

[jajaja]

Im from Scandinavia hehe ;)
Took about 1 year to get all. I dont remember which one that was hardest to find, I think Mario Bros and Donkey Kong. Most expencive was Hogan's Alley I think. Been a while since I bought it, but I think it was around $50.

[christhegamer]

Great collection; especially with the complete Devil World!!!

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[tylerwillis]

Wow. That's sweet. Call me a n00b (or just an American collector focused way too heavily on Dreamcast stuff), but I didn't even know such existed.

Thanks for sharing. And congrats.

[retroplayer]

Owke that explaines a lot. but a real nice collection :)

[Jumpman Jr.]

That is freaking crazy @_@.
They probably look real nice all up on your shelves and such eh.
Good job :rocker:

[LinkOracle]

I especially like the Kid Icarus box, that thing is sweet!

I wish american NES games were like that, would take up a whole lot less room

[tholly]

wow....very amazing collection....congrats on getting it all....

what is your next project now that you have this set done....

[jajaja]

Tnx for all the comments :)

Tholly: My next project is a secret hehe ;) But its "soon" complete, only missing 1 title (damn hard to find!). I will post it when its done, with pics :)

[Richter Belmount]

[jajaja]

freakin sweet , kickass collection how much did you spend on it all?

Never counted, but I guess its between $500 - $800.

[Damon Plus]

That´s a great mini-collection.

BTW, Donkey Kong Classics was released with small box on Spain too (don´t have a pic, sorry, I saw it at a store). I don´t know about the others like Hogan´s Alley.

[Massimiliano]

WOW
Just WOW. Totally impressed I am, young collector 8-)

Oh ok, I didnt know that. Thanks for the info :)
Hogan's Alley I havnt seen anywhere else. Not out in German atleast.

[hydr0x]

very very nice collection, btw, you should update your profile to show you are scandinavian

only game i own out of those (in small box) is Anticipation, but then again i only own like 40 nes games ;)

this is a sub-set i'm definately after too, but Devil World ain't easy to get outside of Scandinavia :/

[Eternal Champion]

I wish american NES games were like that, would take up a whole lot less room
Agreed! These are very cool! I like the small boxes. So the carts don't have a slipcase like the U.S. versions? I also love the Metroid cover.

heh what? of course they still have the slipcase...

[Captain Qb]

Holy s**t..
That is awesome..
Could you give those for me? -_^

I like specially those Legend of Zelda boxes <3

Come on, I mean the black plastic sleeve. They are not shown in the photos so I assume not.

i know what you mean and i said they are included... would you photograph a cart WITH the sleeve so you can't even see the label? see...

[Eternal Champion]

All right nevermind, no need to be snotty

[jajaja]

They do have those black plastic sleeves, just to confirm that :) I just forgot to take them out for the pics.

[Simply Dave]

Awesome! It looks great! :)

[Ruudos]

I remember having a loose SMB 2 cart with that dark Nintendo seal in (like the one on the DK Classics box). I wonder if that cart was originally from such a box.

[kainemaxwell]

Very nice, like the box art the most!

[Ed Oscuro]

Saving the picture, damn, I'll have to get some of these (never even heard of this before now)! Thanks a ton :)

[bsl]

Awesome Collection Mate!
How much you paid for Devil World and Hogans Alley?

[jajaja]

Awesome Collection Mate!
How much you paid for Devil World and Hogans Alley?

Tnx :)
For Devil World ,first I bought a loose, but when I got it the box was also included. The manual I bought later, so total about 25 euro. Hogan's Alley I think it was 35 - 40 euro.

[bsl]

Wow, thats really cheap IMO.
Dunno how much of these both Titels were released in Scandinavia but they are very hard to get in Germany.

[Nate Nanjo]

Thats just, wow. Thats a very nice collection. =)

That could cause a little confusion if put with Gameboy Games =P

[jajaja]

Wow, thats really cheap IMO.

Ye, Devil World was only released in Skandinavia and Hogan's Alley too (not sure if it also was out in Spain). So that probly why they are harder to find in Germany :\


That could cause a little confusion if put with Gameboy Games =P

Hehe ye, they are about the same size as a Gameboy box. They are about 1cm (1 inch is 2.5cm) higher than a GB box.

[Jasoco]

Wow, that's so cool. I love the little tiny boxes. Not that I don't like the US taller ones, but there's just something about those smaller cartridge sized ones.

[ClassicGameTrader]

Awesome collection!

I almost freaked until I saw where they said "European Version" thinking that was something sold here in the USA. Well, I guess now I can say the first time I ever saw a small box was seeing your entire collection, sweet!

[Damon Plus]

Devil´s World wasn´t released in Spain.

[jajaja]

Devil´s World wasn´t released in Spain.

True, but what about Hogan's Alley? U know? :)

[Qixmaster]

that is a GREAT collection. You are quite possibly the only person i know of that has all the small box euro NES games complete. Consider that one hell of a feat as i often search European ebay sites and come up with next to nothing for these titles.

-Josh

[davidleeroth]

Very awesome, they look absolutely beatiful. A complete smallbox collection must be every PAL collector's dream (mine too) and some of the games are pretty hard to find complete and in good shape. Congrats!

[donkeykong1]

That is a very nice collection. :)

[Damon Plus]

Devil´s World wasn´t released in Spain.

True, but what about Hogan's Alley? U know? :)

[Octane06]

Nice job on the collection!
I like these small boxes, especially the unique cover art on some of them...

[davidleeroth]

Trojan had a small box release? Interesting... :eek 2:

[jajaja]

Trojan and Baseball also as smallbox? Damn! hehe.
I never heard of those. Please send me pics of them :)

Btw, are you sure they are smallbox? Come to think of it I never seen a smallbox from Spain, but on the other hand I hardly bought anything from Spain. If you have any pics please send me a pm with them :)
Or do you mean like this? I know Spain had some normal size boxes with the same artwork as the smallboxes.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/ninjaz1/IM000553.jpg

[Damon Plus]

No, I´m referring to small boxes, like the ones on your collection.

I saw Baseball and Trojan only once on Ebay, and that was before I started to write the rarity list (just like with Gunsmoke), so I might be wrong on that ones (most probably). I "remember" they had small boxes, but I´m not 100% sure, so forget them for now.

The ones I´m sure were released in small box and you don´t have are Mach Rider and Rad Racer.

About the pics, sorry, I don´t have any one. I know it would seem like I´m lying, but it´s true that I don´t have any proof of what I´m saying :(

[jajaja]

Ok, no problem :) I just wanted to see how they look like.
If there are more I must have them hehe. Thats why I wanted to see what they look like to be 100% sure they excist so I dont search for something that might not excist, like gunsmoke.
If you get any pics, please send me a pm.

[hydr0x]

The ones I´m sure were released in small box and you don´t have are Mach Rider and Rad Racer.


yeah, i'm pretty sure at least Rad Racer was released Small Box in Germany too

i have a nice source for NES stuff here in Germany which i want to visit some day in January. i'll see if they have it @jajaja

Great, thanks :)
About Rad Racer, I have been alittle unsure about it. I heard someone said it excist and someone who said it doesnt excist. I checked a while on ebay.de for it, but never saw it. If it was released as smallbox too the 3d glasses couldnt be included because of the size of the box.

If anyone can confirm that there are more smallbox releases please let me know.

[drwily008]

jajaja, that is a great collection, something to be very proud of! I too had no idea that those were out there. Are they only available in Europe or are they in Japan too?

[jajaja]

Thanks :)
Japan had the same artwork I think, but not the same boxes. There are some Hong Kong releases that also was smallbox. Carts are light grey and the boxes (most of them i guess) seems to be blue. I dont know too much about the Hong Kong smallbox releases.
Here is a pic of one Hong Kong smallbox and a cart.

[EricRyan34]

That is amazing, that must have costed a pretty penny huh? I don't have ANY complete-in-box NES game, to expensive and no room to put them. :(

[drewbrim]

never even heard of this before now! Thanks a ton :)

You can throw me in the same group as Ed and Tyler. I never even knew these existed.

[fergojisan]

Good God, that is pretty. :-P

*drooooool*

Congrats on getting them all complete. :rocker:

[smokehouse]

Nice set! I have to say that even as a Nintendo fan, I never knew those existed, thanks for sharing those pics with us. I have to say that much of the cover art is far better than the US releases, especially Metroid, Super Mario Bros. and Pro Wrestling.

[p.u.p.u]

Got also my small blacks completed yesterday:
http://koti.mbnet.fi/yab/nes/pix/nes/xtra/all_smlblk.jpg

One game missing to complete small non-blackies :)

[jajaja]

Congrats :)
What game are u missing?

[p.u.p.u]

Thanks mate!

Missing one is Donkey Kong Classics, didn't even knew there's a small boxed version of it before I saw your photos. Anyway haven't seen it anywhere for sale. Maybe a hard one to catch...

[jajaja]

Ye, I didnt knew it excist before I saw it for sale either. Thought I had all, but BAM, suddently I saw another one hehe :(
According to damon plus on this forum Donkey Kong Classics was also released in Spain. Im not sure if it makes it any easier to find, but atleast it got released in 2 countries. Wish I had the official release list of all NES games that got released in Spain.

Good luck with the last one :)

[Speedy_NES]

Very nice collection man!! I've also never seen this many different ones next to each other, looks great!

Also, to add onto what was said earlier, some Asian Version games were also released in small boxes as well. It's really a shame that the US didn't get any small boxes - I think they look much nicer ;)

[NESaholic]

Holy shit man,i knew you had some of these but you friggin got it all there! Mega nice to see the pics,congrats on another milestone. ;)
