EUROPEAN NES GAME LIST Version 0.10 (11th November 1998) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION: LIST IS MISSING A LOT OF RELEASES! (I KNOW) A couple of years ago I made a list which never found its way to NES WORLDs online archive and by mistake got deleted. This is a new version of this list created from my memory, collection of NES games and research. The European NES market was one huge mess, not everything was released all over Europe, seems like Germany/France were the ones getting the most releases, including some which didnt even reach the US market such as Beauty and the Beast (Hudson), Corvette ZR-1 (Milton Bradley) and Parodius (Palcom). Therefore making a PAL NES list is quite hard, and is probably why we havent seen a serious one until now. American releases often changed either distributor or title for the European market, such as Blue Shadow which is known as Shadow of the Ninja in the US and Probotector which was released as Contra in the US (Probotector has robots in it, instead of humans, as in Contra), Street Gangs which is the great selling US River City Ransom. If you're interested in these title changes then visit my site, NES WORLD (www.internet1.net/~nesworld), which has a page about covering this. The list includes Game Pak IDs which might need a little explanation of the last 3 letters: NOE = Nintendo of Europe (Mostly German releases). NOE/FRG = Games with German screen text (only a few exist?) UKV = English (Great Brittan) releases. ESP = Spanish release. FRA = France (holland/belgium?) FRG = *unknown* (early code for Germany/Austria?) FRG/FRG = Games with German screen text (only a few exist?) SCN = Scandinavia (Denmark/Norway/Sweden/Finland) SWE/SWE = Games (Scandinavian) with swedish screen text (only a few exist!) EEC = *unknown* (mostly used by the early NES releases) PAL carts, except English (UKV), always have a "B" written on the label and includes the following text: This Game Pak cannot be used with the Mattel or NES versions of the Nintendo Entertainment System(tm). English (UKV) all have an "A" written on them. The only European unlicensed carts I know exist are Codemasters rereleases of almost all Camerica titles. They came in two different versions, a normal (in black casing) and another which used a Codemasters inhouse developed system called Plug-Thru where you attached a normal, original, NES cart to the Codemasters cart (like the Wisdom Tree SNES cart Super Noah's Ark). Martin Nielsen (mnielsen@get2net.dk) Special greetings to Nintendo Magazine System (UK), Electronic Fun (DK), Nintendo Magazine (SWE), Nintendo Magazine (DK), Total (UK), Total (GER), Nintendo of Europe (GER) and ofcourse Hessel Meun (NL). .---------------------------------.------.----------------.----------------. | Title | Year | By | Pak ID | |---------------------------------|------|----------------|----------------| | 10 Yard Fight | ?
