Trifecta | 235 Posted September 29, 2022 Author Share Posted September 29, 2022 I purchased this really beat up H seam sealed Zanac. The seal seemed legit to me, but when I opened it it only came with cart, sleeve, and manual. I would have thought it would at least come with a Nintendo subscription advert of some kind. Does anyone know anything about this game and its contents? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Nintendo would have had those Nintendo Fun Club inserts at the time. I have a sheet that has some "educated" guess and this is what I had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess I’m confident though not 100% since I didn’t personally break the seal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of FCI's later releases had posters and registration cards, but maybe they didn't include these extras in their first couple of games in October of 1987 (Lunar Pool and Zanac)? I guess my issue is why does a non-Rev-A box with a round seal of quality have a 3-screw cart inside?!? That's very suspicious to me. @Trifecta can you open the cart and check the date codes on the chips and the date code on the manual and box as well? If the box has no date code but the manual and/or chips have a later run date, then I'm thinking that this was a reseal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything matches except for the cartridge shell being 3-screw, though 3-screws showing up in non-Rev-A boxes is not unheard of for this time period (Stadium Events) so I'm thinking this is legit, assuming the cart is round seal and not oval seal (its label is concealed by the dust sleeve in the picture a few posts up). If the below codes are accurate @Trifecta I will add them to the queue for the next Sealed Contents update: Zanac (Round Seal) - Cartridge (NES-ZA-USA) - Box (NES-ZA-USA) - Manual (NES-ZA-USA) - Flat Black Dust Sleeve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know anything about this game and its contents? NP inserts didn't start appearing until a year later. This was their first game on the system along with Lunar Pool so that's probably why there isn't any poster or registration card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trifecta | 235 Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 The cart has a round seal and it is a 3 screw, although the screws are the kind you need a flat head screwdriver to loosen. Yes, the box , manual and cart all have the same code, NES-ZA-USA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin532 | 467 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Yup, carts went from 5 flathead screws, to 3 flathead screws, to 3 security bit screws. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhleo | 2,198 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I'd like to propose a standardized spread for NES CIB contents. All of the important stuff at top (Box > Game > Manual(s) > Poster(s) All of the secondary stuff that's easily swappable on the bottom (Bag > Sleeve & Foam > DOC(s) > Nintendo Power) Here are some notes: Some games might have extra special inserts like NES Play Action Football, Miracle Piano, Stack Up, Carmen Sandiego, MTPO etc. Some games might have multiple posters like Final Fantasy, or Castlequest. Some games don't even have a manual in the traditional sense, like Rollerball and Miracle Piano Some Capcom games come with multiple "registration cards" Some PAL games even have multiple manuals. Also, I didn't factor in registration cards, but they can go to the right of the poster and this is just a rough layout. Contents above are not actually what belong in that box. Pack-In games DO have boxes. They are the console itself and count as part of its CIB and you're all wrong for not including it....that includes the SMB CIB variant that comes with an NES, and FFF: Athletic World with the pad...and that also means some copies of Duck Hunt and Gyromite are in fact "Duck Hunt / Gyromite" or "Duck Hunt / Gyromite / Stack-Up" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodvibes | 159 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) I started a similar format for myself, close to what you have proposed but maybe as general rule of thumb can do box, cart, manuals across the top then do bag, sleeve and foam. Maybe do a third row to show specific inserts to generic inserts left to right. I just keep a second word doc with all games with all codes for each piece written out where I notate the sleeve, rough condition analysis of my own and any condition issues. I have invested too much time into how I’ve been cataloguing to redo anything format related right now lol but that’s just me. Here’s what I do for some of the weird ones with extra stuff. Capcom is chock full of inserts. Edited December 18, 2022 by Goodvibes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
