Source reconciliation

Resolved title: Metal Gear (Nintendo Entertainment System) - Ultra Games image ยท minor_difference

  • completeness medium
    text: PriceCharting completeness indicates game/box/manual (CIB).
    image/code: Manual is not clearly visible in the provided photos; only box, cartridge, map/insert, and a black sleeve/tray-like piece are shown.
    use: Completeness uncertain; price applies to pictured bundle contents only. (image)

Pricing: Treat the sold price as bundle pricing evidence for the pictured contents (box + cartridge + map/insert + black sleeve/tray). Do not use as clean CIB/manual-included variant evidence unless a manual is confirmed present; photos do not clearly show the manual despite PriceCharting completeness fields.

Unknown candidates

  • Metal Gear (NES, Ultra Games) Rev-A box + Rev-A cartridge set medium
    Listing clearly shows Rev-A markings on both box and cartridge; downstream catalog may not currently distinguish Rev-A print/label set vs other revisions.
    Box front: "REV - A" | Cartridge back caution label: "REV-A" | Cartridge front label code: "NES-ME-USA"
  • Metal Gear (NES) black inner sleeve/tray/insert (exact type unknown) high
    A black packaging piece is shown but not clearly identifiable as a standard insert type (manual, dust sleeve, tray, etc.).
    Black sleeve/tray-like piece with a cutout revealing artwork

Human review questions

  • Is the instruction manual included (not shown in photos), or is this actually box+cart+map only?
  • What exactly is the black piece (inner tray, dust sleeve, or other packaging insert), and is it original to this release?

Warnings

  • Manual not visible in provided images; completeness is inferred conflictingly from PriceCharting metadata.
  • Black packaging piece is ambiguous due to limited angle/closeups.
