Kaboom! International edition?

[destruktive]

I tried searching the forums but I couldn't find anything.

So I got a boxed Kaboom in the mail today, and looking at the rarity guides Box image I see that my box says International Edition.

Does anyone have any info on why? Is it common?

 

It's a pal game from England if that helps.

 

Thanks a bunch,

Robbie,

 

Just like you said, this is most probably the PAL version of Kaboom!, hence the text International Edition.

 

However, it could be that your cart carries a N sticker.

 

In that case, it's a NTSC version from Canada:

Also, could you check the serial number on the cart?

 

Is it EAG-010 or PAG-010?

PAG-010. So it's the pall version then? No biggie I was just wondering since the PAL cover on the rarity guide didn't have the international title

The AA rarity guide is mainly focused on NTSC titles.

 

Here are all the different versions known to exist (including the very rare CAX-010 version):
