Castle of Deceit. What a game. Here is something nobody has ever seen. An unreleased label for this Unlicensed Bunch Games (AKA Color Dreams) game. If you know me like or knows me, you’ll know how excited I get discovering and owning preproduction video game items - especially Color Dreams. This item came directly from the production files of the game - I have never seen this label on a released cartridge of the game - swipe ➡️ to see what the normal label looks like (those are not my copies, I stole them from Google Images and are for reference only). If you have ever seen the green border label on a Castle of Deceit cartridge or own one, please DM me.
Castle of Deceit is a top rarity on the NES. It’s always been hard to find. People simply don’t care right now. There was a time circa 2004-2009 where people cared immensely about Color Dreams, there history and the discovery of cartridge variants. It will return. I dare say documenting and tracking these unlicensed variants was one of the driving forces as to why NintendoAge was started in the first place.
I’m slowly, but surely documenting and organizing these files to ensure proper preservation. I hope to track as much of the original Color Dreams/Bunch Games/Wisdom Tree production files and art work down to share on display in a permanent location or a traveling exhibit to gaming expos. The history on unlicensed Nintendo games is extremely fascinating. The future is bright and there is so much more to discover. You can be part of the discovery. SHARE what you have 🤗 #1990
