Was there 3 versions of Donkey Kong Country
There are actually 4 variant carts of Donkey Kong Country. One has the ESRB rating, one doesn't, one is the Million Seller's label, and then there is also a "Not For Sale" version.
It took me a long time to remember about this and as long to find the pics. Super Mario Kart has as many. One without an ESRB rating, three Million Seller's labels- one with an E rating and two with a KA rating, "Made in Japan" and "Made in Mexico".
I wish that I had them all, so I could take GOOD side-by-side pics.
I just bought Pitfall The Mayan Adventure Manual on ebay the BW one..How can I tell or ask the ebay seller if it's a re-release
Is this list going to include games with the different cart types? As in the carts with the redesigned alcove for the eject button.
50TBRD already covered that
It's really hard enough finding the differences in the labels, let alone the differences in the carts. There are relatively few people who are into collecting all of the SNES games and an even smaller group who are interested in the variant labels.
I though the Label on the Majesco rereleases were glosy...
But I'm trying to look for F-zero PC version..I just like having both version

this is a great thread! very cool.
Sorry to bump such an old thread, but what do the different colors in your list signify?
If the ones not in blue are uncomfirmed, I can confirm that Super Battleship, Earthworm Jim 2, and Top Gear were all rereleased by Majesco. I bought them during that time period and they all shared the same characteristics as every Majesco SuperNes release did and remain a part of my collection to this day.
Sim City was never rereleased by Majesco. It was a 1st party rerelease and Nintendo rereleased it themselves during the early days of the redesigned SuperNes in 1997.
And I really doubt Ms. Pac-Man was rereleased. There were plenty of copies around here NIB to back in the late 90's and early 2000's. When I bought mine at Wal-Mart around 2002 or so (The last SuperNes game I ever bought new at a retail store), it wasn't a Majesco rerelease and was the original release from the 1990's.

Cool thread, I also just looked through my SNES games, and not sure what the list on the first page represents or not, but I have 6 titles that were Majesco re-releases and can confirm all of those.
Turns out I have 7, Disney's Goof Troop which I have two copies of and one has a label on the back and the other doesn't, but both were Majesco re-releases
If anyone has the first Non-engraved release of Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, I can confirm the Engraved one:
This is a great Thread! Really helpful for collectors ^^
Indeed. I frequently swap backs on games since they will often be yellowed or have torn labels, although I always choose a label that is similar to the original (plastic back for plastic back, sticker for sticker, green sticker for green sticker in the case of scooby doo-type games). The only downside is that sometimes the embossed numbers within a paper sticker can indicate circuit board revisions and if I'm not careful I can swap the wrong one.
Indeed. I have the first two revisions. The original has a larger Yoshi and Mario on the front a well as larger text on the edge-label. The text is written in one line. The first revision has world on a second line with the end-label text being more standard-sized and mario and yoshi being slightly smaller. It also has the -1 after the model number, of course, to indicate it's a revision.
I have the original and 2nd revision of Super Pinball. I can post the 2nd revision if anyone wants to see that one as well.
