I think we can all agree, Region Locking is the devil.

The NES in Europe was pretty crazy in this regards though, with region locking of NES games within Europe, with PAL A and PAL B games. From what I've read, PAL A was UK and Italy, while PAL B was most of the rest of Europe... or something like that, I'm not completely familiar with it. Turns out PAL A only got around 300 games, so you had to either buy a PAL B NES or Toploader (or mod your NES) to play PAL B games that weren't release in PAL A format.

Sorry to keep going on about this, but I think I found another variant to Bases Loaded.  This is what I've seen so far: 

Orange Logo / Round Seal - Box and Cart
Orange Logo / Oval Seal - Box
Blue Logo / Oval Seal - Cart

I've created listings for all three, but I'm thinking that the Blue Logo / Oval Seal Cart might have come in the Orange Logo / Oval Seal Box, since I can't find any images of a Blue Logo / Oval Seal Box, or a Orange Logo / Oval Seal Cart?
