Actually there are 2 versions of the American Video Entertainment release and two versions of the Home Entertainment Suppliers release. All 4 are NTSC format as it's an unaltered release HES released in Australia. HES releases has all game titles written on the label, while the AVE releases only says "Maxi 15".

The AVE release with Blackjack and Death Race (which replaced Pyramid and Double Strike as AVE didn't have a license to include these on a multicart) is the most rare of the two AVE releases. This release is also known as "Version 2". Version 2 also has a different intro screen.

Of the two HES releases, version 2 is the most common though

Aug 2006 at 09:16 Actually there are 3, or possibly 4 HES variations The 2 version martin mentioned above is in those hardcase "VHS" covers, but there is also a cartboard version. I have one of these, its the version 2. The cartridge and manual is the exact same thats included in the VHS case tho. I dont know if a cartboard box version of version 1 excist.

Aug 2006 at 11:54 Ye i know, its a cartboard box variation, not ROM Sure, here is a pic of it: As you can see, the manual and cart is exactly the same as the VHS box version. I wonder which got released first, or maybe they were out at the same time?

HES wanted their releases to look more like original NES game releases, so they would look more like original Nintendo software
