Cartridge with error (typo, misspell etc...)
Post Posted: Tue Jul 12, 2022 6:54 am
Hi !
I've just received Zaxxon 3D (Japanese version) and on the cartridge there is 1M written on the top left corner. But the game is a 2 Mega one.
I know that in Europe we have Secret Command, where the game splash screen is "Secret Commando" despite box, leaflet and cartridge remain to Secret Command.
Do you know other games like those two ?

There’s a run of Monopoly with Mono Poly on the cartridge.

There’s also a Psyco Fox cartridge.

Thank you :) I think I've already seen the Mono Poly one :)
But never the Psyco Fox ! :D

I have a Slap Shot cartridge which contains Psycho Fox!

Bought the game new (as a loose cartridge) so it was not swapped by anyone!

Hello everyone, my first message on the forum :)

Well, my Monaco GP II cart has an error on the label. It's not exactly a misspel, but is odd enough. It seems like the title is misplaced but the sticker size is OK. I have seen three carts of the same game and all of them have the title centered.

If we go to translations on back covers then there are quite a few misspels, at least in Spanish :)

There are errors on back covers in most language I guess :)

Yeah, don't get me started about how bad Italian translations were back then. Not that they got any better with time, even Pokémon Go has a few mistakes to this day.

We could make a thread about errors on flags in game too... it was common on those days...
