Dusting off the ole magic ball of the predication list A Boy and his Blob was the first published game from Absolute in January 1990. It's the only of the 5 games they published that does not have a game specific poster (based on my research) nor a game specific registration card. This release should have only come with a Nintendo Power insert from Spring 1989 to Spring 1990. Which could have been PMG-MW-USA, PMG-PT-USA, PMG-QU-USA or PMG-VR-USA. I went with PMG-VR-USA for my list. I didn't include any warning sheet because the data of verified opening running Nov 89 - Feb 90 only presented 2 instance of the warning label NES-USA (Championship Bowling and Kings of the Beach). Absolute showed no instances of secondary advertisement (i.e. watch offers or promotions). I have it marked as a flat black sleeve since I never kept track of the variants. That's my notes on A Boy and a Blob. If you have anything else let me know. Edit: I just did a quick search and this popped up as a registration card: ABS-NES-US. (2 different listings) so there had to be a registration card at some point...... something new to go chase now urrrrgh Edited August 2, 2020 by Mr. CIB 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, where did you get the info for Mendel Palace on your site? Sorry, I missed the first time you asked. I only add verified inserts to my list so someone must have opened them at some point. Possibly in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't recall which ones. I'll have some extra income soon so IF I get the collecting bug again and IF I don't go after a different set, I'll grab a few more sealed games to contribute.

I cannot overstate how GREATLY appreciated this is. It looks like it's time for me to do another update of the main list later this week, and it's 100% because of your contributions. Thanks once again for all of your input so far, and for anything else that may come down the pipe in the future 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
