It has a red foil Nintendo brand dust sleeve. It didn’t come with any inserts. Which inserts did yours come with OG CIB? I went off memory and it was the wrong Batman I was thinking of. Sorry for any confusion Interesting that it has a foil sleeve. The game was released the end of 1991 and I thought the foil Nintendo sleeve was introduced between 1993-1994.

Surprising, it had a foil Nintendo brand dust sleeve. Does the box or manual have any date codes? Also if you zoom into the last picture in the center of the sleeve there looks like a sticker or something was on that foil sleeve which was removed and then some sort of residue is left over.

Trifecta | 235 Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 The box and manual don’t have any date codes. I also noticed the circular imprint on the front of the dust sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code Monkey | 2,009 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 What's the game code on the box flap for Batman: Return Of The Joker? There are 2 versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a theory that the rarer H-Seam copies are the NES-48-USA boxes manufactured by Nintendo, and the more "common" NES-P48-USA copies are the ones manufactured by Sunsoft.

Wow...this upends literally every theory I have about this game. OK. NES-48-USA box without an H-Seam, and includes the Sunsoft manufactured cartridge? WTF...so, it must be the other way around? Crazy that Nintendo would mess up and use NES-P48-USA and not Sunsoft. This is really good data. Thanks Trifecta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWunderful | 2,927 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Can we get a residue close up, from some diff lighting angles? If not too much trouble. Im interested now lol, it looks like a SOQ? sticker from what I could see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for letting me know about that hangtab detail! No, I didn't opened it from new. Although I have researched the contents mainly on eBay before posting that photo. I will delete it when a new Solomon's Key is opened and its contents are published here. Meanwhile, I reckon it would be a good idea to have my copy shown in this thread since nothing regarding that game was talked about 'round these parts.

The contents you’ve posted are incorrect for a circle seal Solomon Key hangtab or not. It’s probably a good idea to take it down so there is no confusion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I'm sure the Arcadia business reply and the Virgin Games foldout poster should be inside the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
