#game carts

^ The so-called "Pulse Line" of Nintendo-published Famicom game carts with matching simple label design.

The boxes were still illustrated:

Eventually, Nintendo started putting most* of the carts out with illustrated labels--the so-called "Picture Label" versions:

*I couldn't find pictures of Famicom "Picture Label" carts for four games with "Pulse Line" carts: Gomoku Narabe Renju, Donkey Kong Jr. Math, Pinball, and Donkey Kong 3; I don't know if that's because Nintendo never released "Picture Label" versions of those carts, or if they did but Google doesn't know about them.

'The 14 "Pulse Line" titles in order of release are:

Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong Jr.

Popeye [green label]

Gomokunarabe ["Gomoku Narabe Renju"]

Mah-Jong

Mario Bros.

Popeye [yellow label]

Baseball

Donkey Kong Jr. Math

Tennis

Pinball

Golf

Donkey Kong 3

Double Dragon (GB)

New 3D Golf Simulation: Devil's Course (Super Famicom)

(Came to the US as "True Golf Classics: Wicked 18")

Hyper Olympic (Famicom)

Note the Konami Famicom cart hole ^ _^

The Famicom's Hyper Olympic (100m Dash, Long Jump, Javelin Throw, 110m Hurdles) and Hyper Sports (Skeet Shooting, Triple Jump, Archery, High Jump) were combined into "Track & Field" / Track & Field in Barcelona" for the NES in US/EU.
