What is the normal amount of screws?

OK, now you guys are just starting to creep me out.

3...those are the carts with the two clips on the top, the 5 screw carts don't have the clips and if I'm not mistaken, they also don't have those bit/security screws or whatever they are called...in other words, you can use a normal screwdriver to open the 5screw carts IIRC :)

OK thanks. If anyone wants to come over and look at my carts feel free to.

Um...... NO!

So anyways since we are talking about the actual topic of this thread....

I am going to go thru my games while watching TV tonight.
Give you an update when i am done.

Going to Digitalpress.com, and doing a search for "5 screw" brings up two threads with 5 screw lists. I can add Commando, and I'm pretty sure I had a 5 screw Spyhunter at one time as well.

*edit it was brought to my attention that I might catch some bad wind from mentioning searching DP, and that it might be considered "theiving", so let me make it clear that I only mentioned it as something to start with, and that any info taken from there could indeed be credited to whom ever posted it over there. A search can also be done on eBay under NES games for "5 screw", and bring up quite a few as well.

Don't worry about the DP mention.
It tends to happen ;)

But i am sure if one of us asks whoever typed up the list(s) they wouldn't mind.
Also if anyone does ask how the person would like to be credited ;)

@ DevIancE: Added Commando and gave you credit. Thank you.

Cool. You can add the original Mega Man and Castlevania as well, because I know for a fact I had those too, but I regretfully traded them in my youth, and ended up getting 3 screw versions later on.  :-/ Hopefully I'll run across them again one day.

What about carts without the security tabs at the top? A lot of 5-screw carts didn't have the tabs...

I like your avatar....very retro. 8)

All 3 screws had the security tabs like so......

All 5 screws are like this

Also Mario Bros. Tennis and Wrecking Crew are in both your lsts.
I onnly went over my loose games too.

By the way, I think the ones he mentioned were the PAL European Versions, so you may want to separate them from the NTSC list ;)

I'll take a look at my carts later today and post anything that's missing ;)

Problem fixed, thank you for pointing that out. Not sure how I missed that. ??? I went ahead and added the Pal list as well on the first post. Speedy thank you in advance for checking your carts later.

I also added titles contributed from Anthony Terzi, thank you.

I still am interested in why you need a game that is already in the 3&5 Screw list to be in the 5 Screw list as well.

It seems kind of redunant.

I put it there incase somebody wants a full 5 screw list, all they have to do is copy and paste. I'm sure we will have a complete list sometime down the road.

Just checked my carts, you can add these 5-screw carts to the list:

3 & 5 Screw Variation:

Excitebike

5 Screw List:
