Thats still earlier than the 5 to 3 screw switch in mid 87.  Wonder if their refurbs?

Don't know but there is one Gyromite 3 screw on eBay with no "Made in Japan" and a non hangtab box.

@CrowTRobot what are the date codes?  The 3 screw Gryos should all be around 8748 as IIRC all the rare Black Box 3 screw games (DK, DK Jr, Volleyball, Gyro) were all reprinted one final time for the Xmas season of 1987.  Its possible they were just slapping any Gyromite label they had at the time.

The "Made in Japan" is 8704 and the other is 8644. If I'm right about which numbers they are. Never looked other than to make sure it a legit board.

May as well add these too. Kings of the beach 5 screw and Silent Service 5 screw. Have Gretzky Hockey with the -3 as well.

Long time, No post. Just looking at my NES game recently and found this. Guess I didn't look too closely at my Gyromite 3-Screws but one has "Made in Japan" and one does not. The "Made in Japan" is also has a Rev-A backing.

I have a few variants. I'll post pictures sometime but I have:

5 screw Defenders of the Crown

5 screw Tiny Toons

5 screw Metal Gear

5 screw Snake's Revenge

5 screw Skate or Die

5 screw Super C

3 screw Gyromite x2

5 screw Star Force

5 screw Jaws

5 screw Alpha Mission

3 screw Donkey Kong

N7 Tecmo Basketball x2

Think that's everything but I'll post updated pictures soon.

CrowTRobot from NA. Really missing the NES database. Collecting variants without it is tough.
