Title: Jackal label variant?

I came across this during my eBay searches and wasn't sure if it's all that unique. Common? A pirate? To find out, I thought I'd post it here...

Pretty sure it is a PAL game, but am not positive about that. I am sure a PAL expert will post and say for sure. I am still learning the PAL market. I have never seen it before, so I really doubt it is NTSC, but I have been wrong before ;)

It must be a variation or pirate, possibly Hong Kong/Asian release? The game didnt get released in PAL version.

I should have checked my list before posting, DOH. I wonder what the back of the cart looks like. It does have a new seal, so it is "possible" that this legit, but was only produced in small quanities. Either way I want it ;D Prob a pirate though.

It's the licensed Brazilian release. If you look below Nintendo, you can make out Playtronic. If I'm not mistaken, the Brazilian Playtronic releases are in NTSC format. They also released various licensed NES accessories in Brazil.

:) Anybody know how many of these Playtronic releases are out there? The only other one I can think of off the top of my head is Flight of the Intruder.

I have 33 on my game list, including Jackal ;). If I counted right that is, I done it pretty quick.

Cool! Do you also have Dance Aerobics and World Class Track Meet listed? I just remembered that these were released in a combo package with the Power Pad from Playtronic. The front labels don't seem to have Playtronic on them from the pics I have, so they could just be the normal US releases, but I do know that the manual is different, and possibly the boxes, too.
