guitarzombie | 927 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 A top loader huh? Hmmm... there might be an incredibly small possibility it was a real late re-release? I think the toploader was introduced Oct of 93? What other games were there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK | 267 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) It came with Metroid, Simon's Quest, Stinger, Rygar and Maniac Mansion. Both Metroid and Simon's Quest were the white oval seal releases. Edited May 17, 2020 by DK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I did my ebay hunting or even talking with people locally, its usually interesting that just on the games they own I could probably predict their age. Usually the games inside the lot kinda go together and have the same kind of release date span. That metroid isn't the re-issue so if my hunch was right about Stinger, I would have guessed that Metroid be the yellow variant. Not anything scientific, of course.

fusoyaff2 | 50 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) I just need Star Force, Stadium Events and Sqoon to complete my 5 screw set. The S's are the toughest ones. Note that I don't consider RC Pro Am as part of a 5 screw set because all of the evidence I've seen points to the sole known copy being a refurbishment.

nrslam | 477 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I was never much into collecting NES variants, but with time on my hands I looked thru the collection to see where I stand. Seems I've got 53 of the 5 screws, and none of the tough ones. Rarely see NES in the wild anymore but I guess I'll start carrying a list of those I'm missing in case I get lucky.

Tanooki | 4,952 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I never was onto it either, but it's fun to read up on it. I do have a few of this or that variant, but it's usually buy choice. I loathe with a passion greatest hits/players choice/select stuff, I'll pay more not to get that. I won't pay for a 5 vs 3 screw as it comes off personally ridiculous. N64 games, I hate the colored shells, so I'd pay more for a gray than a blue Hydro Thunder if I wanted it back some day. Everyone has their own likes, dislikes...tolerances. But respecting that, and liking to learn and follow, no harm at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Brink_ | 48 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I dont consider RC Pro-Am a legitimate 5 screw - Ive been searching on and off for years and the only evidence Ive seen is one lousy, bad condition cart that clearly looks like there are glue outlines on the edges of the label. Also never a box. Bogus unless someone can supply a legit example. Cmon Stinger 3 Screw is the opposite. There are at least three known examples and a box. It is my holy grail and I dont considering my set to be complete until I have one. I need a copy. NEED! Also an SE 5 screw.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong though. I'm not sure it sold so go looking through the Sale threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of which are so rare, that everyone's set even with Mike Tyson & Mega Man should be considered complete since there's only 3 known copies of Stadium Events, and 1 known copy of R.C. Pro-Am to have 5 screws. Also on the WTF rarity list is 3-Screw Stinger which is confirmed to exist and even have a matching REV-A / No HT box! I wonder if there are any one of a kind 5 screws out there that nobody has on their radar due to being cart refurbs from either Nintendo or the publisher. Look at this: Limited Run Josh Fairhurst, the developer/publisher of Breach and Clear, has a spool of extra Vita cart labels sent to him from Sony. He could presumably do a label replacement and the replaced label would still be considered original. I wonder if publishers back then also had extra OEM game labels and a stock of 5 screw shells that could be used to refurbish games with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are many collector's out there that if they found a spool of labels for something like Mega Man, or even some rare game, they'd pay $$$ for it. However, if there's 500 stickers on that roll, the truth is, they'd probably make more money cutting them up and selling them for $5-100 a pop (depending on the title, of course) because I'm sure there are a lot of collectors out there who would love to rip off their OG, beat up labels and replace them with a real one from the time of production. Heck, for a semi-common game, I'd consider doing it, but I wouldn't for something like a Stadium Events or Little Samson. I would for a copy of SMB3, though.
