You mean, Super Mario Kart I guess... I have this "Super classic serie" edition, they come in red boxes. It's like "Players Choice" edition for SNES in Europe... Germany, al least, I got it from there.

Awesome, that's one nice collection. Is that Super Turrican game any good? I've been looking for some new NES games to pick up.

Man, I've been lucky, I got my NES and SNES in near-perfect condition, no yellowing at all, but the NES is missing the dust door, got a discount on it because of that, I need to find a replacement already.....

Anyhow, nice collection man!

I'd say that's pretty respectable with a good number of boxes if you have trouble acquiring things where you are. Maybe that NES lived with a smoker and that's another reason it's extra yellow? Import for you or not, that white Metroid cart looks pretty cool. What's the top left loose N64 cart that's covered in label?

Dang, if you just had a Wii it would be complete. Otherwise your collection is really cool.

Well, it could be better I guess, but it's cool. Hard to beat, but fun to play. I belive it's released only in PAL region. I got it new, somewhat around 1995 i think... i got it for present by mistake, i only owned a SNES then.

Most (but not all) of the boxed games were presents from germany when I was younger. Yeah, that white carts are "asian version" and from what I understand they are pretty rare since Nintendo abandoned Asian market early in NES's life. I got it recently pretty cheap from some guy... I don't know how he got it. That N64 cart is Mortal Kombat Trilogy, it's in bad condition but it works (I got those labeled games cheaply from some video-game-renting store, I bought it because it came with Super Mario 64 wich is loose but in mint condition :) )

I guess I'll own a Wii too someday when it will be considered as retro :) I'm not really into this new stuff. I also spent a lot of cash on DS for my little brother, he really wanted that damn thing :)

LOL Yeah, that yellowing thing really sucks. I think it has something to do wit poor-quality plastics and oxidation. I'm just happy the SNES is still very very gray :)

Yes, that is correct. I'm not really sure about that... I know there are two PAL regions, A and B I think... maybe it has something to do with that.
I live in Australia (Which is PAL), have never seen a non yellow DK64 cart, and never seen a NES that says European Version.

I really don't know what to say about that NES label. I haven't see many NES-es around here lately, it's hard to get one.

On the other hand, I saw at least 3-4 grey DK64 carts, not a single yellow.
