I'd hate to burst your bubble but irate gamer has a 3 screw muscle so all noting of rare 5 screw only aren't true in fact they stop making 5 screws in late 87 so all games made from late 87 n back are 5screws n every game did convert over to 3 screw n have oval seal as well which came out in 89

The Irate gamer does have a 3 screw MUSCLE in this video at the :27 mark...





...so that's cool. But if I'm understanding your posts correctly (they are kind of hard to understand), you are saying that all 5 screw games have a 3 screw version as well? It's possible, but I don't think 3 screw versions of Clu Clu Land, Stack Up, Chubby Cherub, etc have been found yet, right?

Clu Clu Land, Stack Up, Chubby Cherub, and also Gumshoe and Soccer (AFAIK) US 3 screw version all need to be confirmed. There's good chances that MillerSI saw Canadian version of these games, which a few have 3 screw version (Soccer for sure).

And there's really no bubble to be burst, we have always been open minded (and even happy) to see more variants being confirmed. We don't base our facts on memory but on concrete proof.

The 5-screw/3-screw chart does not discern between Oval and Circle seals.  I feel they are as different from each other as 5-screw and 3-screw. Shouldn't Oval Seal be a third category in the list? (5 screw circle seal and 3 screw circle seal being the first two categories)

Darn it...guillavoie beat me to it :/ ...

Main ones to watch out for:

5-screw Alpha Mission
3-screw Donkey Kong
3-screw Donkey Kong Jr.
3-screw Gyromite
5-screw Mega Man
5-screw Star Force
5-screw Super Pitfall
3-screw Volleyball

Also, it should be noted that the 3-screw Soccer has some slight argument over its existence (Dain thinks it's out there, dangevin says it isn't, Erik hopes it is ()...I haven't seen one myself...I'd call that one unconfirmed for now).

Is the information in the table one page one of this thread still accurate?

Additionally, although 3 screw may be rarer, is it true that typically, 5 screw carts are the earlier released versions?

Thanks in advance.

I think in every case the 5 screw is the earlier version (unless its a one off repair or something).
