Yes, Mega Man was re-released somewhere around 1993. Had it not been, it would be incredibly difficult to come by today. I don't have my NP collection with me right now, but it was re-reviewed in the (then) current issue of Nintendo Power for the month that it was re-released, so you can nail down the re-release date that way. Whoever's got the NP index for issues 1-70, take a peak and see what issue(s) Mega Man was reviewed/covered in.



I have the 5 screw original FWIW, and the original box has a large round blue sticker on the front for a contest or something (again, I can't check myself because I'm not near my collection till Saturday).

Good info. I don't think that all the boxes with stickers necessarily had five screw games inside though.

I have some sealed hangtab box capcoms (which would ostensibly contain five screw games) which don't have the box sticker and some box-sticker capcoms that don't have a hangtab back..

Anybody got a friggin x-ray machine? It would be nice to really know what carts came with what boxes with 100% certainty. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=231 2006-12-20T23:04:16 -05.00 Dain 22
If the mfg number is 24 (which is printed rather than embossed), the pcb inside will be one produced by Konami.

If the case has that 4-digit alphanumeric code, the pcb inside will be one produced by Acclaim.

If the case has an 'A' (or 'B') embossed in the back label, it directly correlates with the version stamped on the chips inside. Generally, it is the PRG ROM that is revised, so rather than NES-XX-0 PRG it would be NES-XX-1 PRG ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=231 2006-12-20T22:33:49 -05.00 Dain 22 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=231 2006-12-20T08:45:30 -05.00 Dain 22 database and Dain has access to it so I'm guessing it will be available here at some point too. I have not yet analyzed the data to see if I could pull anything helpful from them. I have noticed though, that on some later carts, they switched back to the wide font. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=231 2006-12-20T02:23:25 -05.00 Dain 22 ]]>
