HES Black & White Labels
24. Sep 2006 at 01:38

Some of the rarer HES games have B&W labels, but I just recently found one that I didn't know about: Arctic Adventure. There was a BIN auction on ebay a few weeks ago that had a trashed box but something told me to buy it anyway.

Check it out (look under the Additional Images section:

I'm so happy I don't collect variants (unless they are Color Dreams). Those harder to find HES games would be a pain in the butt to find in both versions especially if Pipemania had a colored label o.O Any clue as to why they were released in b&w as well as color?

I personally think it's because of cost of production -- as the NES market started to die down, I think they likely switched to cardboard boxes and black & white labels (and even plain paper manuals, i.e., Pipemania). It would have saved a lot of money I'd imagine. The later releases (or versions) also didn't have the passthru or dongle, so there's another money saver for hardware. Those are just my guesses though.
