Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - NES - Unlicensed

[shaggy]

I can't find this game in the database and I swore I have seen it in the database before, the black, unlicensed version.  I even thought I had it in my collection.  I can only find the licensed version.  Please tell me I'm not going crazy and somebody can find it.  Thanks.

It's listed as "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" by Tengen.

I did searches and only came up with Mindscape.   The Mindscape page lists only one variation and it is the other Mindscape variation.

What search terms are you using?

Searching "Temple of Doom" brings 2 Mindscape variations (round and oval seals) and the 1 Tengen (unlicensed) variant.  The Tengen release does not include any reference to unlicensed in its title/variation title/alternate title, so if you're using terms like unlicensed in your searching that may be why.

Searching Indiana Jones.  Searched just NES.  Searched all systems.  Tengen version does not come up.  I also went to Add to my collection for NES I don't have and it doesn't show up.

I just did a search for Temple of Doom using the search in the left hand menu and it only returned 3 games.  2 of them out of the US and 1 in the US.  It was only 1 of the Mindscape version.

Not sure what you're doing, but it works for me...

shaggy, you had us change your profile so that it only showed Original Releases in Search. The Tengen version, for whatever reason, it not listed as an Original Release.
Release Types: Alternate Publisher, Label Variation, Media Variation, Packaging Variation

Isn't the Unlicensed Version different than the Licensed Version?

That is true but I didn't think that was the problem because I could still search for a title, find it, click on the title and see the list of variations for that title.  As for if the game is different, I don't know.  I know the cart and box are different.

By December 1988, there were two versions of the game available, distributed by Tengen and Mindscape, although the software itself was identical.
...should be a Variation Tie-In then with the Mindscape version.

These variations are killing me here with the database.

I see it has been added now as a variation.  I am able to see it if I search.  Thanks!
