Hey everyone, over the past month, I have been adding in loads of variations to both the Atari 2600 and NES databases. So far, there have been a handful of people who are aware of these variations and have added them to their collections. I'd like to go ahead and make everyone aware of these variations so that it will make it easier for everyone to update their collections. Here is a list of variation titles to look out for:

Atari 2600
Numbered
Text Label
Picture Label
Rerelease
"Use With Paddle Controllers" Error

NES
5 Screw
3 Screw
3 Screw w/Round Seal
3 Screw w/Oval Seal
Round Seal
Oval Seal

If anyone has any questions regarding these variations, please don't hesitate to PM me. Thanks! Smiley

Thanks for all your hard work. I've been wanting to start updating my collection, I just have some more unpacking and organizing left first. At one point in time, I had a list of all the known 5-screw famicom chip games. I believe I have roughly 3-4 of these titles personally.
 
Thanks ApolloBoy! We love variants! (Well, I do... Tongue )
 
Thank you!!!
 
Thanks for the new NES variants.
 
Awesome work Smiley
No doubt that was a huge list of variants.
 
I can't tell the difference on the NES cartridges
 
@Link41: The "5 Screw" have 5 screws. These were typically early releases, and they lack the clips on the end of the cart.
"3 screw" are the standard carts with 3 screws.
"Round seal" have the older round and black/gold Nintendo Seal of Quality emblems.
"Oval Seal" have the current Nintendo Seal of Quality emblem.
"3 screw with round seal" and "3 screw with oval seal" are just a combination of the last three.

 
There are at least 3 label variations on the SMB/Duck hunt carts too Wink
They are much more minor than the ones in the DB now but noticeable if you have a bunch of them next to each other.
