I like castlevania too. And ghosts n goblins 

is there an offical list of these hang tab game boxes?

I don't have any sealed HT games, but my CIB collection will have the HT variant whenever possible. Even if non HT is more rare, preference still goes to HT.

I don't have any sealed hang tab games either. I never even said anything about sealed in my first post.

I'm curious to know which ones had sticker seals and which had real seals. Was it only real early black box games in he USA with sticker seals? I think Canada had later sticker seals.

I'd like a list of non black box hangtab games also.

PS - Ignore the numbering, it was copy pasted from an old thread. Also a lot of the games without "Confirmed" have actually been "Confirmed" now, but that's a darn good list to start from.

 

This is very nice!
 

Thanks! It's one of my babies.

Awesome!!  Thanks!  

I now realize how far I am from coming close to completing my collection.  
 

looks great!

 

Simpler way to think of it is everything prior to 9/87 *that didn't come in a special box*.    No hangtab zelda because that was a die cut box with the peekaboo window.   No arkanoid because that was a non-standard box too.   Everything else. 

The 9/87 games - some appear to exist in HT and some not.   

 

Ignoring canada and europe where sticker seals were common,

USA stickers stopped after the 6/86 black boxes and before the 10/86 bandais.    

Meaning most but not all of the black boxes came in sticker seal versions.   IIRC the three late bb's that don't meet the timeline are volleyball, pro wrestling, and slalom.

Also meaning that there are no sticker sealed 3rd party US NES games.   (the 10/86 bandais were the first 3rd party games on NES).

Heres another one that I love.    Anyone else with pics of theirs please post them.  I really enjoy seeing these. 



 

Very nice ! I posted my cv ht previously 

Waiting for Dan to post his cv ht  

Ya. Made me a little jealous.  

I didn't want to seem like I was trying to one up you or Sam.   I'll post something else when I get a chance to find a photo.

 

you have some lovely CIBs Billy!
 

Excited to see what you post

Did a super quick check last night. Only went through about half my games. Only 3 I could find. SMB2 is Canadian

nice!

I don't understand why the hanger is there. Were stores supposed to remove the shrinkwrap from the box and hang the cardboard box from the peg?
