It doesn't explain why Bubble Bobble Part 2, and N7 Tecmo NBA Basketball are so rare with two known print runs though. Nintendo really overestimated how many people want to play Star Tropics in 1994. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I just added all of these. Do you have any more information about each one? Circle Seal? Oval Seal? Hangtab? REV-A? Flap code? A well lit photo of the front of the item?

And it actually looks like it was printed over a previous code Edit: Previous code seems to be 00312 if you can't see in the compressed photo. Can somebody shed some light on why they'd print it one day, then reprint it? Was it too light the first time? Thanks, do I have permission to use this photo royalty free with the variant listing?

Has anyone else mentioned Zoda's Revenge having a backwards number? The last digit on my box is a 4, but it's backwards; if that is indeed unusual, let me know and I can take a photo of it if you'd like. Anyway, I'll try to carve out some time to do the manuals and the boards later: Title Box Code Adventure Island II 01219 Adventure Island III 21014 Adventures of Dino Riki 90818 Adventures of Lolo 90301 Adventures of Lolo 2 00110 Adventures of Lolo 3 *No code* Batman *No code* Blaster Master 81005 Bubble Bobble 91004 Bucky O’Hare 11207 Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse 00815 Contra *No code* Contra Force 20710 Destiny of an Emperor 00801 Dig Dug II 91018 Dr.Mario 10128 DuckTales 91014 Gargoyle’s Quest II 20820 Ghosts N’ Goblins *No code* Golgo 13 90728 Gradius (5 screw) *No code* Guardian Legend 91004 Guerilla War 90510 Jackal 90118 Journey to Silius 10308 Kid Icarus (hangtab) *No code* Kirby;s Adventure 20722 The Adventure of Link *No code* Lifeforce *No code* Little Mermaid 10614 Mega Man 20924 Mega Man 2 00323 Mega Man 3 01020 Mega Man 4 11124 Mega Man 5 21107 Mega Man 6 40125 Mighty Final Fight 30624 Nobunaga’s Ambition 00111 Nobunaga’s Ambition II 10205 River City Ransom 00108 Startropics 00416 Startropics II: Zoda’s Revenge 11104 *’4’ is backwards* Super C 00130 Super Mario Bros. 2 11107 Super Mario Bros. 3 00517 TMNT The Arcade Game 01205 TMNT III: The Manhattan Project 11210 Tetris 10223 The Mafat Conspiracy 00507 Willow 91219 Thanks but is Batman correct or is that Return Of The Joker?

Yep, I don't see a code on the Batman box; I've included a couple of pics for reference in case I'm missing something. I've also included a photo of the Zoda's Revenge tab with the backwards '4' as I thought that was interesting, but I have no frame of reference, so I don't know if that's the norm for that box.

Wow, that's cool, thanks for the Batman photo. Zoda's Revenge has the entire code backwards, it should be 40111. They're all like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin532 | 467 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Right, the whole code is backwards, not just the 4. It should be 40111. (1994 January 11) so the game was released sometime in late January/early February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultGen | 5,403 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Found another Ninja Gaiden date: 90426. I wonder if there's a 908XX now, since there's new dates every month or so. The variant game never stops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaden | 151 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Date codes for my broken copy of RBI Baseball PRG - 8816, CHR - 8817 I might open more of my games up later and share the date codes for those. I want to make a spreadsheet of them just to have as an immediate reference. And also because spreadsheets are generally nicer to look at than a forum thread. I'm also like 99.9% sure that I have an addiction to making spreadsheets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
