Trifecta | 235 Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 It would of been nice to propose and discuss a standardized picture spread for NES CIB contents before the original post started. Now there's dozens and dozens of entries and will take a lot of time to re-take pictures and edit the original post. I think a better idea would be to create some sort of database similar to what Nintendoage had for SNES games and have a more uniform display of pictures in that format.

dogbowl | 150 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I recently picked up a CIB Festers Quest from what I would assume to be a reliable source. Everything looks good and matches here however there isn't a black sleeve in my copy. The listing here calls for a black sleeve however in the picture I don't see one shown. Was there a sleeve included with this title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason it isn’t shown in the picture is because it is assumed all officially released NES games came with a dust sleeve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think we really have, just take it how you think it displays best. Maybe your format will be a better layout than previously done. I was quite excited to see some movement in this thread, I was really hoping it was a new entry from Trifecta! Either way I like seeing some complete games posted so bring em on.

For this thread, a standard way to display pictures isn't necessary. We were saying if a database was created, a standard way to display pics would be a good idea. Let's see your Zelda II pic.

Well, not "all"... let's say 99%+ came with a sleeve. Final Fantasy, for example, didn't have a sleeve due to the needed space for the guide and maps and whatnot, and a small handful of other rpg's may have shared the same fate... EDIT - I just checked the sealed contents list and Arkanoid did not come with a sleeve either... Edited March 1, 2023 by Dr. Morbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted it seems the guy never confirmed the codes but all the pieces are shown in the picture and with our knowledge of the codes these days I’m sure we can confirm exactly what the codes are.

What he is referring to is an old NA post….. if memory serves me right around 2007 when the post was getting started a guy posted a few pics of him opening Final Fantasy. Unfortunately, he didn’t list the codes but it was clear what they were. Wizard unfortunately was a tad rude when he responded and the guy was upset and said to heck with opening anything else and posting the codes.

It's hard to tell in the picture, but is the dust sleeve foil or non-foil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trifecta | 235 Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 I’ve never seen a brand new Batman Return of the Joker with a H-seam. It has a red foil Nintendo brand dust sleeve.

None of the NES ones on eBay have any inserts at all so I'm skeptical of there being anything else packed in with the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
