Good lord E! I am SUPER glad I gave up the variant search years ago or my head would be imploding right now. Amazing work. I know how long it takes to make lists, and one that extensive is amazing. Big thanks!
Nice job, Braveheart!!! I can't wait to see the full master list! Let's hope no hang-tab Mega Man's or Zelda's are found! (or perhaps you want one to be found, to continue the journey )

Well, even though the box hasn't been found, don't we know that a hangtab box at least existed because the 5 screw carts have been found? So, he doesn't have it all

He may well not have *every* single thing (how do you prove a negative?) but the existence of a five screw cart is no proof of the existence of a hangtab box. Those two things didn't always go together. Besides, I'm sure he is a lot closer to having every single thing than anybody else!

Exactly correct Dan. There are some things that don't have Hang-Tab boxes. LIke Zelda. However the box for the 5-screw Zelda cart clearly matches that cart and that cart only so maybe a hang-tab box or two are out there, but for the Majority of the 5-screw carts went in the box I have listed.
Also think of Zanac. There is no hang-tab box for that either but there is clearly a NO REV-A box for the 5-screw cart and a REV-A box for the 3-screw cart. Only 2 variants but a box for each. The funny part for Zanac is that I also have a -1 book with a white SOQ in it. Whereas the only two box variants I've ever seen are black SOQ's. In cases where there "MIGHT" be something that exists I have listed it as "NEED" ???????? Like with my 3-screw DK JR MATH. Is there a Non-Hang Tab Box? Maybe but I've never seen one. So it says "Hang Tab Box, NEED??????"

Although I'm never going to be able to follow the list, I really can't wait to spend time looking through everything. Big-up yourself!
Argh, and I thought I was doing good with my two NTSC's and one PAL Zelda.
So how many pages does this complete list include?
I haven't printed it but I did it in Excel and it's about 7,000 lines of text so whatever that is in pages.
Zelda is 2nd in variants.
Anyone guess what game is number one in most variants?

Probably Excitebike or Pinball, some long-running release title that consistently sold well. I'll guess Excitebike.
~~NGD

All these would make good candidates I'd say :
Excitebike
Kung-Fu
Pinball
Super Mario Bros.
Golf
Baseball
