Copying a similar thread for Atarimania, I thought I'd create a thread to help fill in the blanks on intvsteve's intvfunhouse.com. I've learned so much from his excellent site and want to help to make it even more comprehensive.

 

I have multiple scans, but I'll begin with one that seems like it should be on the site already. This is the US-market NBA Basketball made in Hong Kong that does NOT mention the Keyboard Component.

Here's NHL Hockey that mentions the Keyboard Component, made in Hong Kong. However, it does NOT have a part number on the top flap, just the same white area without anything inside.

Cool! I'll try to get to it on my vacation. Could you PM these to me?

 

Thanks!

 

If you click on the image, you get the larger size. Then, right click on that, and you'll have the option to save the image. These are all 300 dpi.

Can you take a pic of the top?

Yes. I wonder if this means that the part number was usually printed after the rest of the box? Or maybe the printer just ran out of black ink.

Here is the last one I have until I go hunting through my collection again. Space Spartans, made in the USA, with the running man logo on the back.

Here's a Roulette overlay you don't have. It does not have a date on it and uses a different, "bolder" typeface. It is glossy. It came from a Sears Roulette.

Here's one of my favorites. This is a Mattel release of Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack with the cartridge made in Taiwan.

That one is also one of my favorites, partially due to the unique cartridge retention system.

Here's one more. Red Action Network Space Battle without mention of Keyboard Component. The interesting detail is on the bottom flap. The flap is a little sunfaded, but it has the line "Distributed by Advanced Consumer Electronics Ltd. Unit 3, Fulton Road, Wembley, Middx, England." So, I guess there was a "UK" version of some games besides Draughts. This one is sealed, so I don't know if the manual is localized or not.

Hmmm, what about some Dutch manual scans? ;)

Hehe... On the ever-growing todo list. You know, some of those todo items are nearing their Tin/Aluminum anniversary! Patience! :P

I might contribute with some Spanish manual scans, let us know just before the next annual update ;)

Hey, it's better than the semi-decadal updates you were getting. :P

Here are some pics for a the French Canadian Popeye that I have since traded. The Manual and the cart may not belong to this set.

Cool, thanks! The manual does look like the U.S. version - the mail-in rebate being torn off the corner is a big give-away. ;) Definitely the right guts in the box though! I seem to recall that the French-Canadian ones often had the standard U.S. manual plus a separate black and white French version.
