Title: Websites that show the contents of a CIB game?
Post by: nintendodork on December 27, 2009, 03:23:52 pm
I'm not exactly sure what term I should use to describe it, but I'm looking for a site that has a list of all the stuff you get when you buy a game.  Example: The contents of Super Mario Bros are: The game, the box, and the manual.  And then for games like RPGs that includes maps, they would list all the additional inserts that came with it as well.  I wish there was a simpler way to describe this, but I can't think of one.  The reason I ask is because I got a loose copy of Super Mario RPG for Christmas, and I would like to complete it, as it's one of the few RPGs I actually enjoy.  So I was wondering if there was any additional inserts beyond the manual, the cardboard thing that holds the game, and the box.

I recall only seeing a thread on the Nintendo AGE forum about that for NES. I think any time someone opened up a factory-sealed game, they'd post about the contents.

I've seen that thread too.  I'm surprised there isn't a well-known site for this kind of thing for more than just one platform! :o

If a game is produced for several years, some inserts (e.g. ads) might change over time, which would make it harder to specify them for each game.

I've seen like 3 auctions on eBay for Super Mario RPG claiming they're complete in box with just the regular things, but then I saw this one auction that had some kind of other paper that said "Super Mario RPG" on it.  I dunno what it was for, as he only provided two pictures, but at least now I know there's something else.
