    It is the PAL version, which is much more common and less valuable than the NTSC version.

    What does PAL mean? It looks like a normal NES game to me. Will it not play on the Nes.

    PAL pertains to the type of TV signal they work with...All US Games are NTSC and Europe is PAL. A PAL game usually won't work on a US TV, and visa versa. The PAL version of Stadium Events was made in a much larger number than the NTSC version. Thus the PAL version is much cheaper and easier to find.

    That's not quite right. PAL consoles are a pain to play on a NTSC TV, but the majority of older PAL games are not optimised for a 50Hz display (thus looking 'squashed up' and slower on a PAL console/TV) so, if used on an appropriately modified US machine, will usually display correctly (save the odd minor glitch).
    In the case of the NES, I believe that simply cutting one pin on one of the chips will let PAL games play on a US console (it works the other way around, anyway).
