Gauntlet: without Manufactured By Tengen (code=0NR1)
Based on Tetris, I think the ones with Manufactured by Tengen (MBT) are the early releases.
I have no clue which ones go with which boxes or manuals. (maybe I need to check your sealed list, lol)
Edit- I may have some with different codes. You probably dont care about those though since I'm pretty sure the coded ones are all unique.

There are three instances where two people had the same code on the back of their cartridge. I assume they are linked to batches, but it might be useful info to have for the future, you never know
