NES variation question. 6 in 1

[captain_nintendo]

So...... Just thinking about stuff today and the Myriad 6 in 1 pops into my head.


Do you consider this a variation? I know that variations are not really paid attention to as a whole. I mean there are so freaking many NES ones as it is.  

But think about it. Caltron 6 in 1 was released and then the company went under  :-/ ......

Myriad buys them out and then uses the Caltron 6 in 1 stock and simply slaps a Myriad 6 in 1 sticker over the existing Caltron 6 in 1 sticker.

So the Myriad isnt a new game at all. Its just a new sticker over the old one.

I havent really put much thought into this previously, but a conversation the other day brought it up.


What do you think?

i consider it a variation, but a major variation that i would need to complete my ntsc nes collection. many others would disagree, because it has a whole new label, box and manual. i believe this is much harder to track down than stadium events, as it only pops up a fraction of the time. great topic cap'n.

[captain_nintendo]

great topic cap'n.

Thanks Wizard, it was the little talk in the chat room that got my mind thinking about it.  

Not many people will consider it a variation, but if you really think about it, it is! One of these days, I will own a CIB copy. Even if I have to fly over to Speedy's place and get it

Your right that it is a variation but it is a MASSIVE variation.
It is essentially the same game.
But it has identicle ROM except for things like the title screen.

So variation it is.

I guess it would be a variation, but I also don't think that a collection is complete without it.  It is sort of like the Sears/Atari releases of the same game for the 2600.

BINGO!!!!!! See it always goes back to the Atari!
