TheGameDisplay | 55 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) I recently picked up the version of the NES Action Set that came bundled with Hogan's Alley instead of SMB + Duck Hunt. It's a thick box, rather than the long thin design that the usual Action Set appeared as. The styrofoam tray that holds the console inside is the same size as the ones found in NES Control Deck boxes. The Zapper is housed in a separate styrofoam tray that has a white sleeve overtop. However, when putting everything into the box, there is clearly way too much empty space. A boxed copy of Hogan's Alley will not fit, I'm assuming it's supposed to be stored loose in the styrofoam tray along with the console. Were there inserts that would have come along with this console in order to stop the box from being crushed? I can't imagine it would have been shipped with the Zapper free to move around. All of my online searches haven't turned up any results. Any info on how this box is supposed to look when complete would be greatly appreciated!

MrWunderful | 2,927 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Is this a PAL release? I didnt know hogan’s alley pack in was even a thing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,492 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Yeah, that's WEIRD. Does it say Hogan's Alley included anywhere on the box? Hogan's Alley was a launch title that,while one of the better Zapper games, wasn't exactly super popular. I can't imagine it being the only pack in game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGameDisplay | 55 Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 Isn't it a strange set? This one looks like it was definitely sold in Canada. There really isn't much information about it out there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,492 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) Yeah, Mattel + French is Canadaland. I figured it had to be non-US, as they sometimes got unconventional pack in options. I guess they must really like Hogan's Alley up there. Edited May 18, 2023 by Tulpa 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid | 424 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Looks like a genuine typo. I checked other systems from Canada and they use pak maybe someone had spell check on while writing it kinda interesting that a misspelling is the correct way to write it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
