andrew:
Also, we should add the Sega Game Gear, Genesis games, and Game Gear games to the list. There is info on the Game Gear wikipedia page about the differences in the Majesco remake. Maybe you can make a note on the list if the game is added to our database.

andrew:
Get ready for a long post...

If you don't mind me linking to other forums, here are too similar discussions:

In the first link they are also trying to make a list of some other label variants. The more I research, the deeper it gets, and the more impossible it seems.

I have 100% complete Majesco re-releases of Clay Fighter (SNES) and Frogger (Genesis). Clay Fighter has the characteristics listed above. (You should change "Manufactured in Mexico" to "Assembled in Mexico." This is listed on both the front and back labels.) The Genesis Frogger has a cardboard box, a black-and-white manual, and "Majesco Sales, Inc." listed on the front of the cart and the back and front of the manual and box. Also, the cart is Assembled in Mexico. In both cases, the plastic feels less durable and the front labels seem cheaper (maybe not glossy).

I don't think they're Majesco, but my Mortal Kombat 3 (SNES) and Donkey Kong Country 3 (SNES) are both Made in Mexico (not Assembled in Mexico) and have slightly different back sticker labels. I know there are other versions of these carts that are Made in Japan with, I'm assuming, the normal back labels. If we want to be complete, then more research will have to be done to figure out all of the differences.

Finally, I have Aladdin (SNES). This has every Majesco characteristic that I listed for Clay Fighter, but it has an actual label on the back of the cart. The label is different in color than a normal label, says Assembled in Mexico, and has either a VERY lightly stamped number, or no stamped number. It's black-and-white manual has "distributed by Majesco" on the back with their address. This was bought when I was younger, and I'm confident this cart and manual go together.

Now, I will compare all of my back labels again and see if I find any more differences.

I just got a complete copy of Super Castlevania IV, I can totally tell a difference between the labels and the cart's plastic is a different shade of gray.

Also, I think I meant to put assembled, but I wrote that from work and couldn't remember exactly what it said. ha

scott:
Oh, and I just noticed that the cartridge scan for Castlevania IV is of the re-release. We may want to get that switched around, as to not throw people off.

I'll scan my new cart and update this right now.

That was a fast turn around from identifying that you had the re-release to receiving this! As I'm reading through the forum, I'm gathering that you are a Castlevania fan, just a hunch! Someday I need to play these games.
