BawesomeBurf Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Well, it can be explained easily as they wanted to show it was a carD and not a carT. But, I like the odd mise en abîme to have the artwork of the box on the cart that is on the box... Yes, but there are many other ways they could have clearly shown it's a card, while still having proper cover art. How about a nice colored stripe on the front and side indicating that it is a card game? Although that's the kind of thing many modern collectors would whine about lol. "That stripe is so ugly! My games don't all look the same!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Those card boxes are thinner than the cart boxes, at least the few I have are. I like them....er I mean my master system games look horrible with those odd sized boxes! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltigro Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I never bothered to investigate it myself, but I'm wondering now for whatever reason if it was Tonka, the US distributor of the SMS, who had a hand in the bizarre covers for the games. Well, as far as the card games go, someone "had a hand in" them. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My games don't all look the same!" I agree with you. But remember it was all new, especially for a system to have two different formats. And I looked around for the Japanese Mark III games, and well... Seems like someone effed up the export versions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
