What is the normal amount of screws?

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

[Speedy_NES]

What is the normal amount of screws?

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.

[Dev1anc3]

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.

[Izret101]

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.

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



All 5 screws are like this
